2020 Practice Squad Rules.
Groups can have 16 players on each practice squad.
As much as 4 players with no more than 2 accrued seasons.
As much as 6 gamers have no constraints on accrued seasons.
4 players can be safeguarded weekly from being drawn away by another group.
The other practice team gamers are complimentary representatives able to sign with any team, however if signed away they should be placed on their new teams active lineup right away.
Two players can be promoted to the active lineup weekly which means a 55-man weekly lineup. Those two gamers can be returned to the practice squad without having to go through waivers. Players can make this move 2 times each.
If a practice team player is signed to the active lineup to take the location of a gamer going on the COVID-19 reserve list, that gamer can revert back to the practice squad without going through waivers.
Game day rosters are increased to 47 this year with a 48th allowed to be active players as long as they have 8 active offending linemen.
Gamers that go on injured reserve can return to the team after 3 weeks. (This is a COVID-19 guideline that offers groups more versatility for the 2020 season).
