Even after the formation of the 53-man roster, the Washington Redskins still have work to do. There are two roster spots left to fill after the transfer of Jordan Brailford and Shaun Wilson to injured reserve, and the practice squad also needs to be put together.
The practice squad consists of ten players excluded from the original roster. Practice squad players are typically younger players who possess upside, and many fringe cuts often find themselves on the squad. Four players on the squad can be veterans, but the other six, at a minimum, must have no more than two total seasons of accrued experience.
