The much-anticipated vote among player representatives for all 32 NFL teams on expanding the regular season and playoffs still has yet to occur.

After the NFL Players Association held an eight-hour session on Thursday, no decisions were made on the proposed 17-game schedule as the league looks to ratify a new collective bargaining agreement before the current CBA expires. A vote in favor of the measure by the NFLPA's team reps is seen as a crucial step in the negotiations between both sides.

According to ESPN's Dan Graziano, there is no "hard-and-fast deadline" for the player reps to vote on the proposal.
