NFL practice squad 2022 rules

The 2022 NFL calendar is officially moving from the preseason to the start of the regular season. As of 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, every team had to drop their roster size from 80 players down to the in-season limit of 53. That led to over 860 players suddenly seeing their hopes for a 2022 NFL season dashed.

All hope is not lost however as free agent signings, waiver claims, and practice squads are still to be made. Up until noon on Wednesday, teams can put in a waiver claim on a younger player who was part of the final round of roster cuts.
