The NFLPA rejected a proposal passed by NFL owners that would have allowed an emergency third quarterback to be elevated from the practice squad on an unlimited basis for gamedays, NFL Network reported Monday.
Instead, teams that choose to dress a third QB on gameday would have to keep that QB on their active roster, a key implication one day ahead of teams having to cut their rosters down to 53.
NFL owners in March approved the proposal from the competition committee that would have allowed teams to stash a third QB on the practice squad and not be constrained by the standard three elevations for that player.
The rule now reverts to 2023, permitting each team to dress a 49th player as its emergency third quarterback, but part of the 53-man roster.
The 16-man practice squads will be finalized in the days after Tuesday’s roster cutdown.
