INDIANAPOLIS -- Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been added to the media schedule at the NFL combine, and is scheduled to hold a news conference at 3 p.m. ET.

This will mark the first time that Belichick holds a combine news conference since 2009. While not required by the NFL, most teams have either their head coach and/or personnel chief hold news conferences as part of feeding the league's seemingly never-ending news cycle.

As of this morning, Belichick wasn't scheduled to speak with reporters. He will follow up Jets coach Rex Ryan, who is scheduled to address reporters at 2:45 p.m. Jets general manager John Idzik is also scheduled to hold a news conference at 3 p.m. ET.

Field Yates is on site and will have a full report.
