The PS rules were revised this year, so you are allowed to put a limited number of vets on the PS
I don't remember the exact number, but guys like Wes Johnson and Dozier are eligible now.
one or the other worth as backup on the roster but the practice squad should be to develop players not prolong careers of players going no where, lol...
A player cannot participate on the practice squad for more than three seasons; he is eligible for a third season only if the team has at least 53 players on its active/inactive list for the duration of that player's employment, or have no prior accrued seasons in the NFL (an accrued season is six or more games on the active roster); or if he has accrued a year of NFL experience on a club's 53-man active roster. If the player was on the active list for fewer than 9 games during their "only Accrued Season(s)", he maintains his eligibility for the practice squad. Games in which a player is listed as the third-string quarterback (a designation that has been abolished as of 2011) do not count as being on the active list
