Tom Brady's stolen jersey from this year's Super Bowl has been recovered. The NFL says it was found in the possession of an unidentified member of the international media.
The league announced Monday that Brady's game-worn jerseys from Super Bowl LI and Super Bowl XLIX were both found after an investigation led by the FBI.
In the locker room following the New England Patriots' win over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI, Brady noticed his No. 12 jersey was missing after he said he had put it in his bag. The estimated value of the jersey is $500,000, according to a police report released in February by the Houston Police Department.
"Through the cooperation of the NFL and New England Patriots' security teams, the FBI and other law enforcement authorities, the Super Bowl LI jersey worn last month by MVP Tom Brady has been recovered," the NFL said in its statement. "
"The items were found in the possession of a credentialed member of the international media. Due to the ongoing investigation, we would refer any additional questions to the FBI."

Brady is the first quarterback to win five Super Bowl titles. He was named Super Bowl MVP for the fourth time, the most all time, in his victory over the Falcons.
