Sources: NFL expected to include QB slides in expanded replay assist

For all those complaining that Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes gets too many calls, relief soon could be on the way.

NFL replay assist is expected to expand this offseason into plays that could include the quarterback slide, league sources told ESPN.

The NFL enacted replay assist in 2021 to allow replay officials and designated members of the officiation department to assist with on-field calls in limited game situations.

Replay assist has been used during games when there is clear and obvious video evidence, such as spot of the ball or a foul, a complete or incomplete pass, and touching of the ball or a line.
