For the most part, an NFL practice squad is made up of young players just looking for a chance to keep their dream alive by hopefully doing enough good work to get a shot, either with their team or perhaps another.
However, now that the practice squad has grown to 16 players and can include up to 10 players who have accrued a maximum of two NFL seasons, and a veteran allowance of up to six players who can have an unlimited number of accrued seasons, it's also a valuable resource, almost like how a minor league system feeds the major league roster in baseball.
And those players can be elevated to the 53-man roster and activated for up to three games each, so they do get opportunities to get on tape.
Though the Buffalo Bills have not formally announced their practice squad as of early Monday night, media reports have pieced most of it together. Here are the three most intriguing players who will almost certainly get into games this season.
So far, the Bills have gone outside their organization to sign only two veterans and Dortch may play an immediate role.
