Players are concerned about wearing down.  Goodell believes they have some answers for that.  The commissioner said organized team activities (OTA’s) could be altered or eliminated.  Training Camp could be reduced.  Restrictions and limitations could be put in place for practices and roster sizes could be adjusted.
