The NFL approved several minor rule changes in addition to the radical new kickoff format on Tuesday, including moving the trade deadline back one week, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The cutoff to make trades will now come on the Tuesday following Week 9 games. The deadline for the 2024 season will be Nov. 5.
Teams can now promote practice-squad passers to the active roster for games to fill the emergency third-quarterback role as often as needed. Previously, the emergency signal-caller couldn’t be a practice-squad elevation.
