Practice Squad to go to 10

[Schmoopy1000]

The NFL is expected to increase the size of practice squads from eight to ten players this season.

That opens up 64 more jobs across the league, and each team will now employ 63 players. Teams will love it, as they're now able to stash even more potential talent and develop more youngsters across the season.

This is a smart move. I wouldn't mind seeing them add a couple of game day roster spots, though the salary cap would likely prevent this

This has to be an injury thing. They have to start doing something because it's becoming unsustainable.

Very cool. Players will love it too. Perhaps in a few years the PS will be a full team, a minor league system.

I think that is definitely part of it, but you still need to drop someone from the 53 man roster to bring one of these guys onto the roster. So it helps you if you have guys go onto IR because you have someone that already knows the system, but it doesn't help you with shorter term injuries.

I hope we dont try and stick vaughn and boyd on the ps.

the attrition rate in recent years has been ridiculous. that's why you've seen more guys being brought in off the couch. literally.
