The NFL announced on Thursday its 2023 playing rule, bylaw and resolution proposals to be voted on at the Annual League Meeting next week.<\/p>\n
The league’s competition committee will debate over eight rule change proposals, which come in addition to nine previously proposed by NFL clubs.<\/p>\n
Among the committee’s proposals are two involving ball placement following touchbacks and fair catches.<\/p>\n
One proposal is to place the ball at the receiving team’s 25-yard line when a touchback occurs from a punt, while another is to also put the ball at the receiving squad’s 25 if there is a fair catch on a free kick behind the receiving’s team’s 25.<\/p>\n
