In other news, owners on Tuesday:
Approved a proposal from the Philadelphia Eagles to give each team a guaranteed possession in overtime during the regular season. Previously, a team with the first possession could win in overtime if it scored a touchdown. This rule change aligns the philosophy with a previous change to postseason overtime, except regular-season overtime will remain limited to 10 minutes.
Endorsed the competition committee's request to add additional specifics on prohibited actions that would violate the league's unsportsmanlike rules, including: a throat slash gesture, simulating firing or brandishing a gun, or displaying the "nose wipe" gesture.
Approved a proposal from the Pittsburgh Steelers to have one video or phone call with no more than five prospective free agents during the negotiation period before the formal opening of free agency. Previously, teams could speak only with the agent of the player during that period.
Approved a request from multiple teams to allow team staff members to prepare K-balls, footballs used only on special teams, before game day.
Approved proposals by the competition committee allowing two players to be designated to return from injured reserve if they are placed on IR when rosters are reduced to 53, granting playoff teams two more return-from-IR spots in the postseason and designating point differential as the third tiebreaker on waiver claims.
Tabled for further discussion the Detroit Lions' proposal to make playoff seeding based on regular-season records as the guiding principle, rather than division championships.
Did not approve Detroit's proposal to eliminate an automatic first down as a penalty imposed for defensive holding and illegal contact.
Announced the use of Sony's Hawk-Eye technology to measure first downs in 2025.
