So Scott is really no more protected on the Saints practice squad than he is if we bring him up and then send him back down. The only difference is that a player off waivers can be placed on someone else's practice squad whereas a player signed off the practice squad must go the 53, and then presumably waivers, before they can be placed on someone else's practice squad.
If we need the guy, bring him up.

The protection that comes into play is that if a team attempts to claim a player off your practice squad, you have the option to promote them to your 53 man roster blocking that move. On the other hand, as you mentioned, if you later decide to demote him back to the practice squad he would first have to clear waivers and at that point you cannot protect him. That would be my worry.
In other words, I conditionally agree ... if we need the guy, bring him up, but be prepared to have him as one of your 53 for the remainder of the season. |
