What is the story about?
With
roster cuts beginning for the Jacksonville Jaguars and every other NFL team, practice squad invitations will be sent out shortly. Here’s a brief primer from our friends at Field Gulls. Keep track of who the Jags add to their practice squad below!
Practice squad formation rules
- Teams can begin forming their practice squads after the waiver period expires at 1 p.m. ET on Monday, August 31. The NFL will send a subsequent Personnel Notice confirming the results of the waiver process, and teams can begin signing practice squad players after receiving that notice.
- A player claimed off waivers cannot go directly to a practice squad. A successful waiver claim means that player goes onto the claiming team’s 53-man roster. The player must first clear waivers before becoming eligible to sign with a practice squad.
- A standard practice squad consists of 16 players. Teams can have a 17th player if that player qualifies for and is designated under the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program (Jacksonville may keep OL Kilian Zierer in this spot).
- Players who are not subject to waivers can immediately sign with another team or join a practice squad. Players with four or more accrued seasons are unrestricted free agents when released and are not subject to waivers. Players with three or fewer accrued seasons are subject to the waiver process.
