Yet there is light at the end of the tunnel, as Wade is allowed to come back to the roster as the team’s designated International Player if he clears waivers.

Wade scored a touch down with his first touch of a competitive football, but the former England and Wasps flyer will now likely spend more time in the practice squad.

Wade was released and retained on the practice squad nearly exactly a year ago, but a second season on a practice squad isn’t ideal for the 29-year-old, who is competing against players six years his junior and with decades of experience in the sport.
