Expanded Practice Squad

Sounds like the NFL is close to passing a rule change bumping the practice squad limit from 8 players up to 10 players, effective this season.

That's good news for the Lions, given the regime change- we can keep two more of the young UDFAs showing promise through camp as the new coaches decide who fits and who doesn't.

We will need one extra for a kicker for sure. The last one would help with a DB maybe.

If this rules applies to this year it could be huge for the Lions in the next year or 2 (obviously all teams).

Could have kept Kickalicious lasy year. Seems one year late.

Only bad thing is still can't hide em there. PS players free game.

The flip side of that logic, then, is that we have 31 other teams with practice squads full of available, in-football-shape free agents to pick from. That's like almost 300 guys!
