[Franchise] no Practice Squad players after roster update (Sept 2nd)

So with the roster update that happened today Thursday 9/9, we load up a Franchise using the “USE ACTIVE ROSTER” option when creating it, and each team only has 53 players and no practice squad players?  
is this another issue we have to deal with? 
When creating a franchise, there is an option to “ Use Real-Life roster” but in selecting that, the rosters are not updated but practice squad players are there.

[EDIT: modified thread title to improve visibility/clarity]

    Noticed that too - they removed alot of players from the game with this roster update...what happened to the expanded rosters from the past couple of years? Another EA folly.

    Sept 9th’s roster update only include 53 players and nobody on the practice squad?  Will this get fixed and corrected?

    @Smoothy22 As I already mentioned, thank you for reporting this issue! Please do not post the same issue creating multiple threads! Doing that makes it more difficult for the community team to take records of all reported bugs. I can confirm that they will forward all issues to the dev team even if they do not answer in the threads immediately. Answering to every report costs a lot of time and it is much more important (at least from my perspective) that the dev team is made aware of all issues in order to tackle them as soon as possible.

    I hope they will fix the missing players in practice squads soon. good luck!

    Thank you for the post and for @Neo_Novalis flagging this down to us.

    It's a known issue the team is aware of and investigating. We'll update this thread when we find out more.

    Any update? Just launched the game for the first time in a few weeks, downloaded the update....issue still exists. At least admit you guys are trash. Give us that.
