Goodell also said he had formed a committee on health and medical issues that would be led by the San Francisco 49ers’ owner, John York. Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys’ owner; Rich McKay, the Atlanta Falcons’ president; Mark Murphy, the Green Bay Packers’ president; and Mara will serve on that panel, called the Health and Safety Advisory Committee.
