The NFL had an expanded practice squad the past two seasons. Teams could maintain a 16-man practice squad and, for the first time, were able to have unlimited veterans on it. Traditionally, it was meant to be a developmental unit filled with players who had not accrued much experience.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the NFL and NFLPA have agreed to some minor changes to rules for the practice squad for 2022.
The limit of 16 players will continue but teams will be limited only six veteran players on it.
