Hey Jokeman, I had to look for a bit, but here is a breakdown for the practice squad for 2021. Most of the articles were for the 2020 season. They reverted back to 12 from 16. 2 of the 12 can be at any age and eligibility. It’s about 3/4 down the article. The other 10 are under the new CBA rules (you can read it to not bore you).
The bottom line is for 2 guys there are no real restrictions and thus he could easily be placed on the PS if he is not an IR candidate, and I hope he isn’t as they probably will do an injury settlement and just release him. It’s a crowded room for his position.
Regardless of his dad, I am sorry for the guy. No one likes to see injuries.
