Troy Aikman facing MNF limits due to Dolphins role, NFL says

ESPN analyst Troy Aikman will see some restrictions in the lead-up to "Monday Night Football" broadcasts this season after he took a role as a Miami Dolphins consultant earlier this year, an NFL spokesman told Front Office Sports.

The restrictions are the same that Fox analyst Tom Brady has faced the past two seasons due to his part ownership of the Las Vegas Raiders.

Aikman, like Brady, will have to remotely attend production meetings -- when a broadcast crew meets with a game's head coaches and key players -- and will not be allowed to attend practices at team facilities.
