 Teams are additionally allowed up to 10 national or international players (with a minimum of 2 nationals) on their practice squad roster and may expand it to 12 if the team carries the maximum allowed two global practice squad players, though they are not required to do so.Every year, the practice squad roster is temporary increased in size to 15 following the start of the National Football League's season to accommodate for the influx of cut NFL players.Unlike players on the active roster, players on the practice squad may be signed at any time to another team's active roster without compensation to the player's original team.
