While most of the focus was on potential NFL rules is on the future of the tush push, the league has reportedly approved two other changes for the 2025 season. Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, league owners voted in favor of allowing both teams to possess the ball in overtime and expanded replay assistance.

During the NFL's annual meeting earlier this week, chief media and business officer Brian Rolapp mentioned that the league would be "liberalizing" the rules of eligibility for its fan-favorite Hard Knocks series.

Among the additional rule changes are the expanded use of replay assist and touchbacks resulting in the ball placed at the 35-yard line.

NFL policy requires 24 votes from owners to approve any rule proposal. On Tuesday, several rules, including a change to the kickoff touchback, received the required votes.

Sony also confirmed the implementation of a "new coach's sideline headset for coach-to-coach communications" during the 2025 season. Unlike the headsets previously used by NFL coaches, the new models will feature noise-cancelling, as previously reported by CNET's David Katzmaier.

Calais Campbell is back for at least one more season -- his 18th in the league. The 38-year-old defensive lineman is signing a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals, the team announced on its website. It's a one-year deal worth $5.5 million, according to ESPN, and can pay as much as $7.5 million with incentives.

The NFL's march toward an 18-game season is continuing, even if it was not front and center at this week's league meeting.
