 |
|
It's clear that the Practice Squad is for younger, newer guys. Is there a rule about who can go on that and who can't?
Someone told me there's a rule about how many years a guy has been on a teams active roster but I can't find anything on this.
Anyone know the rules here?
Thanks |

| A player is practice-squad eligible if he doesn't have a season of accrued free-agent credit, has spent fewer than nine games on the 45-man active roster during his accrued season, or hasn't been on a practice squad for three weeks or more in two different seasons. |

Thanks 1niksder -- and we think the Federal Gov't has complicated (for no apparent reason) rules...
Wonder why they just don't say, a player can be on a PS if they're within their first two years of NFL eligibilty? Seems a lot easier. It doesn't hurt a player to be on the PS, they get paid and if another team wants them they can sign them away (only for the 53 man squad). |

If you start the season as a PS player and a active player is hurt, then you are moved up to the active squad in week 3, by week 5 you are starting. Come next year it would be wrong to give you a pratice squad spot after so much playing time, Right? |
