Former Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent is being allowed to return to the NFL, though he has been suspended 10 games without pay.

Brent was convicted of intoxication manslaughter earlier this year in the death of friend and fellow Cowboy Jerry Brown Jr.

The NFL has outlined a series of conditions Brent must meet to be eligible to play when the Cowboys return from their bye week in November. According to a statement from the league, Brent can return to practice after Week 9, but may not travel with the team. He will be allowed to attend team meetings and individual workouts starting in Week 7.

If Brent has any alcohol-related conduct or activity, he faces immediate suspension and possible banishment from the NFL.
