NEW YORK (AP) – The NFL has sent a letter to the 32 teams reminding them of the rules and restrictions for the bench area and sidelines.
The letter from Ray Anderson, the league’s executive vice president for football operations, includes the responsibilities placed on each team to appoint a “get-back coach” to ensure that players, coaches and staff members are in compliance with league rules.
The letter was sent Thursday, four days after New York Jets strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi was suspended indefinitely and fined $25,000 by the team for sticking out his knee and tripping Miami’s Nolan Carroll in Sunday’s game. Alosi subsequently acknowledged that he told five inactive players to stand next to each other for a punt return, during which he tripped Carroll.
