Questions about the 53 man official roster being released Friday and my franchise

[BigOrangeVol4Life]

If I download it when it's released and I start a new offline franchise, how does it work with preseason games, which I do want to play? Do I still get the expanded preseason rosters or will I start with the 53 man roster during the preseason?

Is it possible to go ahead and start the franchise now and download the 53 man roster later maybe after the preseason is over and incorporate it?

How does this work?

Nobody really knows until Friday. Could be a 63 man roster, could be a 53.

You definitely need to start with th rosters. The rest we wont know until friday. I assume they will be 53 man because the practice squad is only in franchise.

The logical thing would be that on friday they drop a roster update with the 53 players, plus 10 practise squad players (don't matter if only there's practise squad on CFM, there's 75 player limit on preseason and same on "play now" or main menu) and finally the IR'd players. So, around 63 players.

I reckon it will just be all the practice squad guys as well as 53 man rosters as well as other players.

keep in mind Injuries suspensions PUP, roster minimum requirements etc they have to have all these players.

also keep in mind to spend 30 mins changing all the TE LS to C because stupidly since CFM came in we can't move a TE to LS in CFM only C or G, that is the first thing I am gonna do.
