Kelly green uniforms? Maybe not as Eagles withdraw 'alternate helmet' proposal

Updated at 3:30 p.m.

The Eagles are withdrawing all but one of their proposals for changes to the NFL’s rulebook and bylaws, according to sources. One of the proposals they are withdrawing would have allowed teams to wear alternate helmets, creating speculation that the Eagles could wear kelly green alternate uniforms.

The only proposal that will remain is prohibiting a player from leaping over the line to try to block a field goal or extra point.

The Eagles are also withdrawing a change that would have made a long snapper a defenseless player, one that would have changed the challenge system by granting a third challenge to a team if they have one successful challenge, and one that would have extended the “crown of the helmet” to include the hairline.
