dcat Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) I copied this from another source. Interesting rule changes for 2020 rosters: Though the roster limit will continue to be 53 for 2020, two players from the practice squad may be brought up to increase roster sizes to 55 on gameday, with those two players reverting back to the practice squad after gameday. Practice squads will also be increased in size from 10 players to 12 beginning this season. Active gameday rosters will also grow from 46 to 48, provided one of those extra players activated is an offensive lineman ALSO: You can only elevate the same player from the Practice Squad to the active roster 2 times per season AND: You can have 4 players on the Practice Squad with ANY number of seasons There are 3 obvious implications of this IMHO A team can keep a QB with a ton of NFL experience on the Practice Squad as an emergency QB and put them on the active roster 2 times without any problems Teams will probably carry 3 or 4 offensive linemen and make each active for 2 games over the course of the season to backfill for injuries 4 decent vets at any position can be stashed on the practice squad - they'd have to be waived and brought back after the final cut, tho. Assuming 1 will be a QB, that's 3 other veterans Edited June 13, 2020 by dcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcat Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 I just have to. One of the responses to the new roster rules was this. I spit my coffee. Quote Belichick: "Yeah, #65 seems a bit undersized to play guard, given that he's 6'2 205, but he's a very versatile player, with a really strong arm. Which is why in practices he's taking all of his snaps at QB... But we definitely think of him as an offensive lineman." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
