One of the developments from the recent NFL league meetings was the approval of the expansion of the practice squad. Teams will now be allowed to carry up to 16 players on the practice squad, up from 14 a year ago. There is more allowance for veterans who previously would have been ineligible too.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell was asked about this reaction to the rule change during his media session on Thursday at OTAs.
After acknowledging that he hadn’t heard about the expansion to 16 players, Campbell offered this telling assessment of how his Lions plan to utilize the practice squad.
