It sounds like there will be some NFL star power at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
[According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter,](https://go.skimresources.com?id=126006X1587340&xs=1&xcust=cmason|&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.espn.com%2Fnfl%2Fstory%2F_%2Fid%2F45236200%2Fsources-nfl-allow-players-play-flag-football-2028-olympics) owners are expected to give players the green light to participate in Olympic flag football. There’s a vote at the league meetings this week in Minnesota that needs a thumbs up from 24 owners to pass.
There would be some stipulations to player participation though, as outlined in the rules proposal. The NFL would only permit one player from each team to complete — unless it’s a designated international player — and there would be insurance and salary cap credits for any injuries.
Here’s the full rules proposal that’s being voted on:
_Permitting players under an NFL Player Contract to try out for a flag football team participating in the 2028 Olympics;_
_• Limiting NFL Player participation to no more than one NFL Player from the roster of each NFL Club for each team participating in the 2028 Olympics (in addition to permitting each NFL Club’s designated International Player to play for his country)_
_• Providing appropriate injury protection, and Salary Cap credit, for any NFL Player who is injured while authorized to participate in flag football activities related to the 2028 Olympic Games through the placement of one or more League-wide insurance policies._
_• An agreement that Olympic flag football teams will implement certain minimum standards for medical staff and field surfaces to be eligible for an NFL Player to participate in Olympic flag football for such team;_
_• A schedule for flag football games and related events in such a way that does not unreasona_bly conflict with an NFL player’s League and club commitments.
