As they prepare to host the Detroit Lions on September 7 to kick off the NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs have announced 16 players signed to their initial practice squad.
Practice squads were increased to 16 players during the pandemic, and that appears to be a permanent change. Teams can also sign six players with an unlimited number of accrued professional seasons.
Like last season, teams will be allowed to elevate up to two players to their gameday rosters (up to three times for an individual player in the regular season) without the risk of a waiver claim.
