PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The NFL concluded its annual league meeting Tuesday, with efforts to get the tush push banned getting tabled after garnering support from 16 teams -- eight short of the necessary 24. Owners did approve expanding the league's replay assist program and a significant change to the kickoff rule. The league also announced a switch from relying on the chain gang for first-down measurements to camera-based technology, similar to line calls in tennis. The traditional chain crew will remain on the sidelines in a secondary capacity.
