Join us as we monitor the rumored practice squad additions.

Practice squads can begin to be assembled by NFL teams after the waiver claim period for players waived on Tuesday passes at noon ET on Wednesday. Which players will comprise the New York Giants’ initial 16-man practice squad?

Teams can sign any free agent player to their practice squad, subject to the league’s limitations on the number of veteran players who can be added to a practice squad. Most players signed to an initial practice squad were with their teams during the preseason.

The practice squad eligibility rules I posted earlier this week seemed to draw some argument, even though they are taken directly from the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Via Russell Street Report, here is another explanation of practice squad eligibility:

It’s November 25th, 1993. Were at Texas Stadium for a Thanksgiving day showdown between the hometown Dallas Cowboys and the visiting Miami Dolphins. Dallas controls the game with a one-point lead but Miami’s lining up for a field goal in the final seconds. A booming kick

Players from the practice squad may be added to the roster for the game three times.

There are no weekly practice squad protections, to clear up another area of misunderstanding. Teams were permitted to protect four players per week during the 2021 COVID season who were not eligible to be added to the active roster of another team. That’s not the case anymore.

How much do members of the practice squad make? For every week they are on the practice squad, players with two or fewer accrued seasons will receive $12,000. A player can make up to $20,000 per week, with a minimum of $16,100, if they have more than two accrued seasons.
