As the 2025 NFL season approaches, the Green Bay Packers have been busy finalizing their roster. On Tuesday, the team released 32 players, but many of them are expected to return to the Packers on the practice squad.
The practice squad size has been expanded for the 2025 season, with all NFL teams now able to carry 16 players. Additionally, teams have the option to retain one international player, bringing the total practice squad size to 17 players.
With the practice squad set to be filled in the coming days, the Packers' initial 53-man roster will now turn into a complete 69-player (or 70-player, if an international player is retained) team for head coach Brian Gutekunst and general manager Matt LaFleur to work with as they prepare for the new season.
