Practice Squad Eligibility

In order to be eligible for the practice squad, a player must meet one of the following requirements:

• Have no prior accrued seasons of NFL experience. An "accrued season" is one in which they spent six or more games on the active roster.
• Have one prior accrued season of NFL experience in which the player was on the 45-man active roster (i.e. not inactive on game day) for no more than eight games.
• Thanks to the new rules this year, a team may sign a maximum of two practice squad players who have earned no more than two accrued seasons of free agency credit.
• If a player has served two seasons on the practice squad, they are eligible for a third season only if their team has 53 players on their active/inactive list for the duration of that player's employment.
• A player has served one season on the practice squad if they are on the practice squad for at least six games (up from three the past few years).
