The NFL approved a new rule on Wednesday that expands prohibition against blocking below the waist. The approved proposal illegalizes blocking below the waist by offensive and defensive players on scrimmage downs when contact occurs beyond five yards on either side of the line of scrimmage and more than two yards outside of either offensive tackle. NFL owners also approved a 90-man roster to start training camp this year on Wednesday. Rosters must be cut down to 85 players by Aug. 17, 80 players by Aug. 24 and 53 players by Aug. 31. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, teams opened training camps with 80 players, 10 fewer than will be allowed in 2021.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
