Detroit has also suggested excluding any player from the 90-player roster limit if they are placed on season-ending injured reserve on or before the day when NFL rosters reduce from 90 to 53 players. Players designated for return would be excluded from this rule.

The Green Bay Packers have formally proposed a rule change to ban the tush push and the Detroit Lions proposed that playoff seeding be done based on record instead of automatically placing division winners in the top four spots.

The proposal by the Lions would allow a wild-card team with a superior record to be seeded ahead of a division winner.
