Breaking down the rules and eligibility for NFL practice squads


One of the most important parts of any NFL team is the practice squad. On Sunday all 32 teams cut their rosters down from 90 to 53 putting 1,184 players out of work. But for 320 of those guys, their dreams of playing in the NFL doesn’t end. For these guys, the practice squad is still out there.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the practice squad and how it works.

Every practice squad consists of 10 players. They can be comprised of players the team has recently released or any of the rest of the pool of available guys. But not just any player who is cut can qualify.


Most of the members of a practice squad will be rookies or undrafted free agents. The NFL only allows each team to carry four veterans on their practice squad with more than two accrued seasons. An accrued season is defined as six games on the active roster in a given season............

I like Spillane and Allen. Also don’t mind Jones but if they let Holton go and kept Jones, I think that’s a bad move. Not sure if he was added somewhere else though...

It is definitely not like most years, when the practice squad inspires awe.

Diontae Spencer was claimed by Denver.

It is definitely not like most years, when the practice squad inspires awe. The Steelers are in trouble if they need to rely on any of them.

[stillers4me]

The Steelers are in trouble if they need to rely on any of them.

That's why they didn't make the 53 man roster.

[hawaiiansteeler]

surprised we didn't sign Sutton Smith back to the practice squad.

Derwin Gray and/or Patrick Morris could find themselves on the 53 next year with the departure of BJ Finney.
Tevin Jones is essentially the #6WR

Where is Devlin Hodges?

Where is Devlin Hodges?

Hodges will end up being an All-Pro future Hall of Famer with another team :bananalama:

Everything is possible!

Just ask Kurt Warner! ... Hodges will have to work in a grocery store though if he wants another chance!

[polamalubeast]

I don't remember something like that

1168240384264298496 After hearing who made it. Wouldn't be a bad idea to do again.

A practice squad never look good on paper!

I'm pulling for Christian Scotland- Williamson to progress onto an actual roster somewhere. A few others there I don't mind also. I don't complain about quality on the practice squad. Mainly because I'm not an a^%hole and I understand that they are trying to accomplish something, but also because they're not actually part of our depth chart and they provide a valuable service for our team.

[86WARD]

Holton is gonna be signed, most likely, tomorrow.

Why a grocery store? Can't he work as bouncer at a strip club, or a sleazy dive bar where people go to get handjobs in the alley?

Not sure he has a bouncer build and maybe Ryan Leaf can get away with that. Hodges looks like he is more suited selling Avon if he can't make it in the NFL.

[El-Gonzo Jackson]

Anybody sign Hodges yet? I don't think a kid from Alabama is gonna make it selling Avon. Maybe he still ends up on the Steelers PS later in the season.

His goal will be the XFL for next years.
