Jayden Reed’s fractured collarbone lands him on injured reserve, with a 6-8 week timetable. Green Bay leans on a deeper receiving corps as Reed’s absence tests chemistry across Love’s targets. Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Matthew Golden and Savion Williams step into bigger roles, while Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave provide immediate TE upside. Kraft erupted for 124 yards and a TD on Week 1, signaling real depth behind Reed as Love’s connection with Doubs yielded a quick TD before the injury.

NFL practice squads are forming as rosters trim from 90 to 53, with 17 spots per team and strict rookie-veteran mix. This piece explains the structure, pay, and eligibility, then highlights early PS candidates who could spark late-season depth for fantasy rosters.

Cut-down day reshapes NFL rosters as teams trim to 53 while Washington emphasizes a fluid 70-man plan, with final practice squad decisions looming and Hartman out as depth at quarterback shifts behind Daniels and Mariota.

A league-wide ripple sees Edwards-Helaire and Simmons cut, underscoring turnover across backfields and linebacker rooms. Washington’s top pass-catchers remain McLaurin and Samuel, with Ertz and Bates anchoring the tight end group; Cosmi’s PUP status tightens early-line guard plans as the roster moves continue to develop into Week 1 vs the Giants.

Hartman, Wake Forest five years and Notre Dame alum, is set to be released by Washington after spending the season on the practice squad and never appearing in an NFL game. He produced eye‑catching college numbers (59.8% completion, 15,656 yards, 134 TDs) but will enter free agency as a developmental, pro‑style passer. Several teams will consider him for a practice squad spot as they hunt a quarterback with college‑level timing and leadership who can be groomed behind a veteran.

Fantasy angle: Hartman’s upside hinges on landing behind a patient, scheme‑friendly staff and earning real reps late in the year or next season. Until that happens, his fantasy impact is mostly speculative depth chart chatter rather than immediate production.
