2020 expanded roster rules will remain in place in ‘21; let’s take a second to remember what those rules are

And the league said last year's expanded roster flexibility rules will remain in place for this season.

As had been expected, the league has announced that the more flexible roster rules and increased practice squad size implemented a season ago due to COVID-19 will carry over to 2021. I think that is good news.

As a refresher, here are those changes:

• Expansion of practice squads to 16 players, including up to six who have more than two accrued seasons.
• The ability to protect up to four practice squad players per week from being signed by other teams.
