The LA Rams already know that they’ll have offensive lineman Max Pircher on their practice squad next season. The tackle from Italy is allowed an exception because of the International Player Pathway Program and won’t count against the Rams’ 12-player maximum practice squad roster. Los Angeles will get additional time and space with which to develop Pircher, but the timeline for most NFL players is quite short even if there is a little more leniency than there used to be.
The Rams can put players with no accrued seasons, or players with fewer than nine regular-season games over one accrued season, are eligible.
