Refresher on Practice Squad Rules & Eligibility

[B-more Ravor]

Teams must have their active rosters reduced to 53 players by 9:00 p.m. tonight. Other teams may claim a player, in which case that player is added to his new team’s 53-man roster.

If the player is not claimed by Noon on Saturday, he will have cleared Waivers and he is then free to sign with any team – either to their active roster (although if not claimed on Waivers, that’s unlikely) or to that team’s Practice Squad. While there are the occasional instances of “poaching”, whereby one team signs a player that another team has released, most team’s practice squads are largely made up of players that have been with that team throughout training camp.
