Roster cuts are over. Waivers have been processed. Now it is time for NFL teams to start compiling their practice squads.
While the Green Bay Packers begin a normal week of practice today on a seven-day week before their season opener against the Chicago Bears on Thursday night, the personnel department will be hard at work as well. After 1:00 PM Eastern today, teams are allowed to begin signing players to practice squads, completing the initial roster-building process.
Each team can sign up to ten players to the squad, which will practice along with the 53-man roster and continue the young players’ development.
