The NFL increased the practice squad to 16 players because of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and continued it in 2021. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the expanded practice squad is expected to continue in 2022.
Fowler reported Tuesday that owners were set to discuss practice squad rules this week and that it was likely to continue with 16 players.
The expanded practice squad has been good for more players, especially since teams also had no limit of veterans they could sign.
