NFL Investigative Protocol

The NFL Investigative Protocol is a structured process the league uses to examine reports of rule violations, misconduct, or safety issues. When an incident occurs, the NFL gathers evidence such as interviews, videos, and reports, and reviews them thoroughly. The league may consult experts, interview involved parties, and evaluate whether rules were broken. The goal is to ensure fairness, uphold league standards, and determine appropriate action if necessary. The process emphasizes due diligence, confidentiality, and consistency to maintain integrity and trust in the league’s operations.
