NFL teams will discuss a resolution to allow players' participation in flag football at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles next week.

On Thursday, the NFL announced that the resolution would be addressed during next week's spring league meeting in Minnesota. A resolution document released by the league lists conditions for participating players, including salary cap credit and injury protection.

The resolution also discusses how, if approved, NFL players' participation would help the growth of flag football and increase league interest.

Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, NFL player participation in the Games would not conflict much with the NFL season, as flag football events are scheduled for July 14 through July 30. The Gold Medal game would be the same week that teams report to training camp.

This breaking news story will be updated.
