The NFL will process all players waived over the last few days through waivers at 11:00 a.m. CT today. After that, teams can begin signing unclaimed players to their 17-man* practice squads. Any players who are claimed must be placed on the team’s 53-man roster, which would necessitate a corresponding roster move.
* Just like last year, all teams are eligible for a 17th spot if they add a player who qualifies for the International Player Pathway Program.
Teams can have up to six players on the practice squad with more than two accrued years of service in the league, and the remaining spots need to be filled by players with less than two accrued years of service.
Teams can elevate up to two practice squad players for each game, but they can still only have 48 players active on game day.
