It’s been a busy few days for the Detroit Lions. The organization established its initial 53-man roster, claimed nose tackle Benito Jones off waivers from the Dolphins, signed quarterback Nate Sudfeld, then waived quarterback David Blough and Jermar Jefferson in corresponding moves, while also establishing an initial 13-player practice squad.
The NFL made some new rules changes this offseason, including making some tweaks to how teams can use the practice squad. The most notable is that the NFL and NFLPA agreed to maintain the expanded 16-player practice squad on a permanent basis.
