Important rules to remember regarding the 16-man* practice squad

Up to six players on the practice squad can have more than two accrued years of service in the league, with the remaining spots filled by players with less than two accrued years of service. A seventeenth* player can be added if he is a qualifying international player. To qualify, a player must have their citizenship and principal place of residence outside the United States and Canada, with a maximum of two years of high school experience in the United States.

Teams can elevate up to two practice squad players for each game, but they can still only have 48 players active on game day. After the game, the elevated player(s) will revert to the practice squad. A player can be elevated up to three times, but if he’s needed after that, the team would be required to sign him to the 53-man active roster.

Players on practice squads are essentially free agents who can be signed to another team’s active roster. If a player is signed away, his new team must keep him on its 53-man roster for three weeks, but if he’s released, he’ll revert to his previous team. Players signed to another active roster are also guaranteed three weeks’ salary.

A player’s current club can not prevent him from leaving; they can only make a counteroffer to keep him. Ultimately, it’s the player’s choice where he signs.

A practice squad player can’t sign with his team’s upcoming opponent unless he does so six days before the upcoming game or ten days prior if his team is on its bye week.
