While it may not be the most exciting conversation to have, the Lions will soon face numerous difficult decisions regarding who stays on the practice squad. Teams can begin to form their 16-man practice squads next Wednesday, after the claiming period for players placed on waivers during final cuts expires.
Practice squad players are compensated between approximately $13,000 and $22,000, depending on their experience and service time.
