PSA On The Practice Squad

People find practice squad eligibility confusing, so briefly, here is the rule:

A player is eligible for the practice squad as long as

a) He has not dressed (been on the 45 man roster) for 9 or more games during any prior single season; and 

b) He has only spent time on a practice squad in two or fewer seasons in his past.

Remember, a player like Willie Reid was on our practice squad in 2008. He had been on the Steelers 53-man roster for the prior two seasons.

Of the players released by the Eagles yesterday, the only guys who are NOT practice squad-eligible are Lorenzo Booker, Tank Daniels, Matt Wilhelm, Kyle Eckel, Matt Schobel and Dan Klecko.
