Practice squad eligibility rules for 2020 finalized

Friday’s call between the NFL and NFLPA executive committee resulted in a wide range of news, as the league and its players finalize a plan to return to team facilities and start training camp. Among the wave of news was the finer details of a previously reported idea.

In June, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported that practice squads, initially set to expand from 10 players to 12 for 2020, would increase even further to 16 players. The change was to allow for greater flexibility in what will be a season unlike any other. The details of expanded practice squads show that flexibility, indeed, will be given.
