In addition to simplifying the catch rule, the NFL adopted six other rule changes on Tuesday, included one proposed by the Denver Broncos.

Under Article XVII, Section 17.16, clubs were previously not allowed to trade players who were on injured reserve. That rule has been reversed, thanks to a proposal from general manager John Elway and Co.

“We had a team that was interested in one of our IR players [last season], but we couldn’t do it,” Elway told the Denver Post’s Nicki Jhabvla on Monday. “So this opens up the flexibility. Plus, with the guys being able to come off of IR now, with designated to return, now you can have players back and they can still play that year off IR. There’s a lot of value there.”

It’s unclear which player on Denver’s injured reserve list was drawing trade interest, but players that ended last season on IR included linebacker Corey Nelson, offensive tackle Menelik Watson and quarterback Trevor Siemian.

Nelson did not re-sign with the team during free agency, opting to join the Philadelphia Eagles instead; Siemian was traded to the Minnesota Vikings two weeks ago; Watson’s roster spot is far from secure after the team traded for Arizona Cardinals offensive tackle Jared Veldheer last week.
