The 2020 NFL season brought many things many of us didn’t expect. Although several games ended up getting tweaked, and entire season was played without missing any regular season contests. COVID-19 protocols were implemented and many things were held virtually which used to happen in person.
Despite all the problems the 2020 season presented, there were some solutions which seemed to be so beneficial they may stick around into additional years. If both the NFL and the Players Association can agree on these items, they could be implemented again this season. According to NFL networks Tom Pelissero, two major changes from 2021 which may last into next season are the 16-man practice squad and different rules regarding the Reserve/Injured List.
