NFL owners are planning to discuss a resolution to allow players to participate in flag football at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
The resolution under consideration for next week’s spring meeting in Minneapolis would permit no more than one player from each NFL team to participate.
Each team’s designated international player also would be allowed to participate for his country when the Summer Games features flag football for the first time.
The NFL proposal includes a few caveats that would protect teams in case of injuries, including providing salary cap credit for any players hurt while participating and establishing “certain minimum standards for medical staff and field surfaces.”
In addition, the flag football schedule and related events cannot “unreasonably” conflict with an NFL player’s team and league commitments. The gold medal game is the same week teams report to training camp.
