NFL considering expanding practice squads from 12 to as many as 16 players

p

In a move that could allow the Philadelphia Eagles to add more depth and versatility, Mike Garafalo of NFL Media is reporting that the league and NFLPA are in discussions on an expansion of the practice squads.

Back in March, NFL players voted to approve a new collective bargaining agreement with the league’s owners that runs through at least 2030. The new CBA expands the NFL’s playoff field by two teams starting with this upcoming season and we’ll see the regular season expand from 16 games to 17 games as early as 2021.

Such a move would allow the Eagles to keep up to six extra players on the practice squad during the 2020 season as the league attempts to navigate the coronavirus pandemic.

I'm ok with this, I've said for a while that they need expanded practice squads. 

This is probably one of the first steps toward an 18th game lol.

Yeah i think it makes a lot of sense. And surely is only a matter of a little extra money for those PS players?
