With the 53-man roster deadline and first waiver wire period behind us, it’s now time for the Las Vegas Raiders to put together their practice squad.
NFL teams are permitted to have 16 players on their practice squad, although one more is allowed if that player is part of the International Player Pathway Program.
The Raiders signed offensive lineman Laki Tasi from the program this offseason, but he was cut on Tuesday. If Las Vegas signs him to the practice squad, the team will be given an exemption, so Tasi won’t count toward the 16-man limit.
Here’s more important details about the practice squad, according to ESPN:
-
Up to six of the 17 players can have unlimited NFL experience, which is a big development in recent years. Previously, players could have no more than two accrued NFL seasons for eligibility.
-
Every Tuesday, teams can designate four players as protected, so they can’t be placed on another team’s active roster from that day until kickoff.
-
Two players can be promoted to the active roster on game days. Then they return to the practice squad, unless the team offers a one-year deal.
-
Teams can’t activate a player more than twice; after the second time, they must decide whether to promote him to the active roster.
Practice squad signings should start rolling in after noon ET on Wednesday, when waiver claims process.
Follow along with our tracker below for all of the latest reported signings Las Vegas makes, but bear in mind nothing is official until the team confirms its signings.
