In what is in my opinion some very good news, it sounds as though the NFL is on track to retain several of the Covid-19 roster-related rules changes that were implemented last season to help teams navigate the potential and sudden loss of availability of players due to the virus.
According to Tom Pelissero, while there is nothing official yet, alterations such as the retention of a 16-man practice squad and removal of limitations on how many players can return from the Reserve/Injured List (and how long they must be on there, are expected to be kept.
Both sides particularly liked the modified IR rules, which allowed players to return in three weeks instead of eight and removed the cap on the number of players designated for return.
