According to NFL agent Mike McCartney, the NFL is expected to increase practice squads for NFL teams from 8 to 10 players at some point next week.
This will in turn create an additional 64 jobs for players around the league and bring the total number of players on NFL rosters and practice squads to over 2,000.
I’m sure NFL teams will be happy about the fact that they can hold onto a few more players that they can develop in the coming years.
