The Rams announced their cuts to get down to the 53-man roster but there is still something that needs to be done. That is putting together a 10-player practice squad. Here are the rules of the practice squad.

• Starting September 4th at 1:00pm EST All NFL teams can put together a 10-man practice squad which consists of players that can practice during the week with teams but can't play in-game unless they are promoted to the active 53-man roster.
  
  
• Teams can only keep 10 players on their practice squad.
  
  
• Teams can sign anyone off any practice squad but they must be placed on their active roster.
  
  
• Teams can sign four players to the practice squad that have had two years of NFL experience (year = 6 games).
  
  
• Teams can't have a player on the practice squad for more than three seasons.
  
  
• Teams must pay practice squad players a minimum of 6,900 per week but teams can also pay more to make it tougher for other teams to come in and sign away their player.
  
  
• Salary paid to practice squad player don't count towards the salary cap.
  
  
• If a player is signed to the active roster via the practice squad they are required to be paid for three games regardless if they are cut after the first game or not.
  
  
• If a player is released from a practice squad they can be signed to another. A team won't need to put them on the active roster unless they are signing them off another's practice squad.

The practice squad can be an excellent tool to help develop a player who isn't quite worthy of being on an NFL roster or even a player who can't quite fit on the roster due to the amount of depth a team has. The majority of the time if you finish the year on the practice squad that team most likely will sign you to the 90-man offseason roster.

Here is a list of rams cuts that are eligible for the Rams practice squad:

So how would you put together a 10-man practice squad out of so many intriguing players? That is the main question every coach will have to ask themselves tomorrow. For now here's two 10-man practice squad lists that I put together. One of them is all Rams I feel they should keep and the other is a mixture of Rams and other players that were cut.
