Hello, when expanding the practice squad to 16 a team can add up to six experienced players regardless of the number of years of experience? Would these more experienced players be subject to normal eligibility to be picked up by another team?
My understanding is four of the 16 players can be protected from being signed by another team (practice squads were increasing to 12 this year anyway before this). Also, players elevated from the practice squad to replace an active-roster player who tests positive can be returned to the practice squad without going through waivers first.

Be honest, you are at least a little relieved to not have to answer questions about how many snaps Aaron Rodgers should play in the preseason, right?
I'm sure someone's going to ask anyway.

I know you said "Three Things" will continue, but I was curious if you guys will actually be able to go watch practice or would it be through a closed broadcast to you?
At this point, we've been told we will be able to watch practice live. Where we'll be located and what exactly our vantage point will be is TBD.

With stadium attendance being down, won't TV ratings go up? Why doesn't that help offset the projected salary cap loss next season?
Because the broadcast contracts are already in place. Will increased ratings impact the rights fees for future broadcast contracts and therefore future salary caps? Most definitely.

Given no preseason games, the chance of an undrafted free agent making the team is likely to be much diminished. The streak of UDFAs making the team will be in jeopardy. How many years is it?
More than I've been in this job, I believe, and this season coming up will be my 15th.

Like you and most others I too have not been to my office in many days. What was most profound when you returned to your office at Lambeau?
I stopped in for a few hours Monday morning (after getting a virus test). I found my desk covered with Prospect Primer scripts, which was a little startling and a bit of a reality check. I also found an unopened package with the complete DVD set of "Sports Night" inside, which had been waiting for me since early April courtesy of Patrick from Madison. If you're still reading regularly, Patrick, thanks a bunch. What a treat.

Welcome to the world of science when confronted with something novel. The medical experts still have the best information at any given time.

Back-to-normal, or even semi-normal, in sports was shattered, just days after being reintroduced. Now what?
The usual saying is hope for the best, prepare for the worst. I think it's now prepare for the best, expect setbacks, and hope to avoid the worst. Or something like that. Happy Wednesday.
