The league reproduction system will also be expanded. The owners approved a proposal that allows the repetition officer to annul the penalty flags that are thrown by a blow to a player who is determined to be helpless.
Penalizations for a horsepower backle, roughing, tripping or running towards the kicker, as well as fouls by a facial mask, would also be under the reach of the repetition referee.
But, the repetition official will not have the power to enforce a penalty in a play in which no flag was launched. The owners also approved the proposal of the competence committee to allow two players to be appointed to return to the injured reserve if they move to go, since the lists are established in 53 men.
In addition, the teams that qualify for the postseason will be allowed to two or more returns of IR points during the playoffs.
