Once the 53-man NFL roster is set, teams look to sign free agents and waivers onto the practice squads.
These are the players who can be called on to join the main squad during the season should someone be forced off the roster. This year, due to the ongoing COVID pandemic, 16 players are allowed on the practice squads.
Note that these practice squads are subject to change as new players are signed or released.
