If you love getting into the nitty gritty of the CBA and NFL rules and procedures, this post is for you. The NFLPA is reversing a rule passed earlier this year that would’ve allowed an emergency third QB to take the form of a practice squad elevation instead of being on the 53-man roster. That rule would’ve created more roster flexibility and allowed teams to more comfortably carry two quarterbacks on the roster. Now, the NFLPA is using their veto power to scrap the change.
NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero shared the news Monday afternoon.
Important note as teams construct their initial 53-man rosters:
NFL teams were informed that the NFLPA vetoed the revised Emergency 3rd Quarterback rule that would have allowed teams to elevate a bona fide QB from the practice squad an unlimited number of times.
