NFL owners have approved a rule proposal to ban the swivel hip-drop tackle, the league announced Monday.
The violation will result in a 15-yard penalty if flagged in games, but Troy Vincent, the NFL\'s executive vice president of football operations, strongly implied last week that it is likely to be enforced similarly to the \"use of helmet\" rule, which typically leads to warning letters and fines in the week after a game rather than flags during play.
