Patriots reveal 2026 initial practice squad, IPP slot included

The New England Patriots announced their initial 16-player 2026 practice squad, featuring 12 players (including Lorenz Metz as the IPP) and five spots still open for future additions; a reported sign of guard Jake Kubas wasn’t included in the release. The piece explains practice-squad logistics: players practice with the team, can be elevated to the active roster (up to two per week, up to three times per season), and can be signed away from other teams’ squads at any time.

Vikings Prepare for Practice Squad Shuffle After Final Cuts

This piece reviews NFL practice squad rules (16 players, potential 17th spot for IP Pathway participants; at least 10 must have two or fewer accrued seasons) and the waiver/cut timeline that follows 53-man roster reductions. Elevations from the PS to the active roster can happen up to three times in the regular season (unlimited in the postseason); players signed from another team’s PS must join that team’s active roster for at least three weeks. For the Vikings, Thorson (IPPP) made the 53-man roster, so the 17th PS spot isn’t needed unless another IPPP player is added later. The club also added two offensive linemen via waivers and, as of the latest update, signed former Bengals tight end Cam Grandy to the practice squad; more PS moves are expected to be tracked here.

Big Ten Bans NFL-Drafted Players From Returning to Conference Rosters

The Big Ten unanimously approved a rule prohibiting players who declared for the NFL draft and either appeared on an NFL roster or signed a pro contract from returning to a Big Ten college football roster; the SEC opposed the move. Ohio State coach Ryan Day said he dislikes the concept but will adapt, while Oregon coach Dan Lanning warned it could create roster fairness issues and negatives for players who worked to earn spots.

"NFL Teams Advocate for Rule Changes: Trade Deadline Shift and Injured Reserve Modifications"

The Detroit Lions have proposed two changes to the NFL's injured reserve rules, including allowing teams to designate two players for return as part of the initial 53-man roster and permitting an unlimited number of players to return to the active roster during the postseason. These proposals aim to adjust the current rules, which require players to spend at least one day on the 53-man roster to be eligible for activation from injured reserve and allow for eight players to be activated from injured reserve during the regular season and playoffs.

MLS Cap Rules and the Future of Inter Miami's Star Signings

MLS Cap Rules and the Future of Inter Miami's Star Signings

Inter Miami is reportedly in talks with Sergio Busquets, and there are rumors of other high-profile players wanting to join Lionel Messi at the club. However, the MLS salary cap and roster rules could make it difficult for the team to sign more stars. Miami is still under salary cap sanctions for previously breaking roster rules, and they already have three designated players. To fit Messi into the team, Miami will need to "buy down" one of their current DPs with allocation money. Miami will also need to shed cap space and stockpile allocation money to sign more players.
