Yeah, haven't seen anything on this either.
If there is a rule like that, it 100% would only cover signing to another PS. Zero chance that you can block a PS player signing to an active roster.

Yeah there’s been a long rule where if you claim someone off another teams practice squad you have to keep him on your active roster for 3 or 4 weeks.
Yeah, but I wouldn't call that rule blocking.

Here’s a sporting news link on that subject, suggests Brit is right:
NFL practice squad salaries: Minimum salary, eligibility rules and more to know for 2024 | Sporting News
The NFL slightly tweaked its practice squad rules for the 2024 season. Here's what to know about the changes.
but the point being...a team can NOT take a player from another teams PS and put them on their own PS...so that move does not need to be blocked.
any player signed off another teams PS is required to put that player on their active roster
Yes, that is how it's always been. Players are free to be claimed going from another teams' PS to an active roster.
But from what I understand from @BritCard post, he's taking about blocking this for 4 players on the PS. I have not seen anything on this.
My comment was that once a player is waived from the active roster, he is in principle free to sign with any teams' PS.
I stand corrected..Here’s a sporting news link on that subject, suggests Brit is right:

Never heard of that before. Interesting!
So I assume that only kicks in when the PS is formed, so players can still be signed after tomorrow.
I believe they said only 3 remained from the previous 4 drafts classes that proceeded Monti.

It's not about another WR pushing him off (although I think Fehoko is above him on the depth chart). It's more there are other players they will want to keep on the 53 that they think have some value or a better chance of being claimed on waivers due to positional value.
For example, they may keep Mustipher (who has had a good preseason) on the initial 53 over Weaver because rotational DT's have more value on waivers than a WR6 that isn't a special teams ace. Weaver would almost certainly make it to the PS, the main risk would be Weaver choosing to sign to another PS. In which case, big deal.
But as I explained above, with the call up from the PS they can keep him there and call him up on a weekly basis if they have injuries or feel he can contribute.
As the DL get healthy they can move Mustipher to the PS in a few weeks when rosters are more settled and he's less likely to be claimed.
This is just an example, what I'm trying to say is that it's no longer a case of "This is our best and most balanced 53". With the way the PS has changed it's added complexity to how teams choose their roster.
An extension on how we cut Aaron Brewer a year or two ago with the intention of bringing him back because nobody claims a long snapper.
Yeah they have to make it onto the PS first which is why there's all kinds of strategizing about which players might get picked up and who might get claimed, and trying to keep them around to cut those odds.
If we cut Mustipher (for example) tomorrow there a good chance he gets claimed. He had a good pre season and there's a general shortage of DT depth around. So they probably try keep him on the 53 until everyone has filled roster spots with other claims and then try move him to the PS later. Just as an example.
The first 53 is never the final 53 now.

Will the first 53 offense/defense breakdown be the same as the final 53? 25/25 for instance. I'm still going with 26-24 in favor of defense.
Yeah I think it will be defense heavy, it's where the surplus value is.
