Rule changes continue to roll in, as NFL owners have voted for more leniency towards celebrations, to shorten the overtime period from 15 minutes to 10 minutes, and to allow two players to return from IR (previously, the rule only allowed for one).
This follows the news that teams will now have one day to cut rosters down from 90 players to 53 players (eliminating the 75-man roster step).
This change is primarily meant to address player safety, as additional snaps could provide more opportunities for injury or concussion. Nevertheless, teams voiced concerns about a shortened overtime period, particularly the possibility of an increase in the number of tied games due to this change.
