4 Steelers Practice Squad players who are protected in Week 4 include Trey Edmunds

The 2020 NFL season is now three weeks down and some of the new features for this season are starting to become more second nature. One of the things that is different in the NFL than in years past is the expanded 16-man practice squad roster which can include up to six veteran players. Another feature of the practice squad is two players can be elevated each week to the game-day roster without having to replace someone else who is already on the 53. Because of this, teams are able to protect four players every week who cannot be signed by other teams until after their upcoming match up.
