Use of "practiced"

Hi

Are these sentences natural? Practiced as an adjective. 

Is it my turn to perform now? Sorry, but I'm not practiced at the moment. 

Were the students practiced enough to perform on stage?

Thanks,

Tom

Mr. Tom Are these sentences natural? No, that is not how we use the adjective, which I believe is always used attributively.
