Ali Highsmith Added to Practice Squad
Somers is reporting that Ali Highsmith has been resigned to the practice squad despite Highsmith appearing in 20 games over the past two seasons, including 14 games and two starts this year. The normal rule is anything over nine games in an "accrued" season makes a player ineligible so we'll have to wait to see how this move is explained or if it's confirmed.

NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement, Article XXXIV:
If the player was on the active list for fewer than 9 games during their “only Accrued Season(s)”, he maintains his eligibility for the practice squad.
Ali’s only accrued season was last year and was for only six games. Next year he won’t be eligible as this year’s accrued season is 14 games.
Don't waste time or Time will waste you.

Oh, heh.
Way to get technical for us, Hawk.

I didn't think he was eligible either so I had to look up the loophole
Handling the RotB Pick’em folks forces you to become a good Rules Lawyer.
