According to ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg, the Bills have proposed a new rule that would allow a member of the practice squad to serve as a third-string QB during games.

The league currently allows teams to select an emergency QB on game day, but he has be on the active 53-man roster and also counts as inactive for each game he doesn’t play.
The Bills are advocating for a practice squad QB to be eligible as an emergency option on game day and, should their suggestion end up becoming a rule, teams will be able to keep two QBs on their roster while another will be on the practice squad.
It would also mark the second time in the last two years that the rule has been changed. The first change was prompted by the San Francisco 49ers’ conundrum in the 2022 NFC Championship Game that saw them lose both of their QBs and forced Christian McCaffery to take some snaps as a signal caller.
