Proposed rule change could give teams more flexibility to manage injured players like Nick Bosa and George Kittle.
The rule change would allow teams to place players on the PUP list for a longer period, potentially up to 21 days, before they must be removed or activated.
The change aims to help teams manage the recovery of injured players, but some worry it may lead to teams stalling on injured players' return to play.
