The Green Bay Packers will start signing players to the practice squad after the waiver period ends on Wednesday. All NFL teams can carry 16 players on the practice squad during the 2025 season. Some will have 17, with a free spot designated for International Player Pathway players.
The Packers released 32 players on Tuesday, but many will return to Green Bay on the practice squad to start 2025. Once the practice squad is filled, a 53-man initial roster will turn into a complete 69-player (or 70, if an international player is retained) team for Brian Gutekunst and Matt LaFleur.
