On Wednesday, the NFL and NFLPA agreed to changes to two key parts of roster construction – the practice squad and injured reserve.
Teams are allowed to roster 16 players on the practice squad, which is up from 14. They’re also permitted to keep up to six veterans on the practice squad.
On top of that, practice squad players are now allowed to be elevated three times to the active roster as opposed to the two times it could be done last season.
