On Wednesday, the NFL-NFLPA agreed to keep practice squads at 16 players, allow more veterans per team to sign to the practice squad, and have three game elevations per week.
The NFL had previously increased the practice squad size to 16 players in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic and continued it in 2021. That size of 16 players per team will now continue.
In addition to teams being allowed to have 16 practice squad players in total, there are also now allowed 10 practice squad players with no more than two accrued seasons, up from four previously.
