The first regular season game of 2013 is only three days away. The past few days have been filled with a flurry of transactions as players have been cut, waived, claimed, and signed. And, teams are putting together their practice squads -- also known as the scout team -- a group of eight players that are used throughout the season to help the players on the team's active roster prepare for upcoming opponents by emulating the opposition. Practice squad players are free agents and can be signed by another team at any point during the season. Teams often keep players that didn't make the final roster cut on the practice squad so that if/when injuries occur, they can sign them to their 53 man roster. I'm going list each teams practice squad, starting with the Arizona Cardinals.
