    The NFL and the NFL Referees Association have come to an agreement on the issue of backup crews, an NFLRA source said Wednesday.

    The 21 backup officials, who will not be NFLRA members, will be in a developmental program. The purpose of the developmental league is to train the backup officials and expose them how to work with the NFL.

    The 21 backup officials will work with NFL crews throughout the week but will not work games and will not be eligible to be subbed out.
