Roger Goodell: NFL targets 2012 for 18-game season - ESPN
The earliest that we could see the two extra games is the 2012 season and the two games will replace two of the preseason games.
The starters typically play the majority of the last preseason games so the players won't be risking their health much more than they are now. The tempo of those games are a concern. I think that a shorter/less intense training camp will be necessary to balance the workload for the players.
