Practice Squads expected to increase to 10 players

[SFW]

Adam Schefter is reporting that Goodell is likely to increase the amount of PS players from 8 to 10 per team.

This will make it easier to keep players like Herndon and Reese if they don't make the final 53.

LOL NFL News sticky. I didnt even know it existed. Good news though. Opens up spots, reduces chances of practice squad poaching.

Thanks for posting SFW. That thread is way too big to keep diligently checking, this one is worthy of it's own thread too IMO.

That is a great idea. Now if they'd just let everyone on the 53 man roster dress for game days, I'd be real happy.

Otherwise players who have earned one or more accrued seasons would not be eligible for the practice squad unless they spent fewer than nine games on the 46-man gameday roster during those seasons.

damn, wouldn't Larry English be eligible if we kept him??
