Leander Wiegand, the Jets’ international pathway program player, gets a roster exemption if he is on the practice squad. Typically, NFL teams can only carry 16 players on the practice squad, but the Jets and any other team with an international pathway program player get an exemption to have a 17th player. He is a lock for that role.

With the Jets, Fields might not have to throw it 25+ times, with Breece Hall and Braelon Allen as his backs to take pressure off the passing game. Granted, that is good in theory, but as we know, it will all come down to execution with real NFL bullets flying.
