Bears 2022 practice squad/roster tracker

With the NFL’s 53-man roster deadline in the rearview mirror, teams will now be scrambling to add players to their 16-man practice squad.

Practice squads can’t be officially formed until today at 11:00 a.m. CT, which is the NFL’s claiming deadline.

The first step for the players is clearing waivers. Any player that passes through unclaimed is free to sign with a team’s practice squad. Teams can add up to six vested veterans to their practice squad, and teams can elevate a player three times before having to sign them to their active roster.

At 3:00 p.m. (CT) teams can place players on injured reserve to make them eligible to be designated for return after four games.

Here, we’ll keep track of all the rumors and reports surrounding the Chicago Bears’ 2022 practice squad.
