UPDATE: Britain Covey & other Utes join NFL practice squads
Despite a handful of Utes not making the cut for their respective teams final 53-man rosters, the vast majority who were waved on Monday were able to re-sign with the practice squads.
While not making the final roster means that it is unlikely many of these Pro Utes will see the field this season, it does keep their NFL dreams alive and a call-up could happen at anytime.
As for now, these players will practice against the 53-man roster and assist them in their preparations for each opponent they face throughout the season.
In terms of compensation, practice squad players with two or less accrued seasons of experience will make $11,500 per week, while the more experienced veterans can negotiate pay between $15,400 and $19,900 per week.
