Who is eligible for the practice squad?
The rules were changed in 2020, with the notable being that teams could now have up to six players with more than two accrued seasons of free agency credit. Teams don’t have to have six such players, and the rest of their practice squad includes the following with no limits on either group (outside of the 16-player max):

What is an Accrued Season?
Used to determine a player's free agency status (unrestricted, restricted, exclusive rights). In order to accrue a season, a player must have been on (or should have been on*) full-play status for at least six regular-season games in a given season. A player under contract must report to his team's training camp on his mandatory reporting date in order to earn an accrued season. If player holds out his services for a "material period of time," he is also at risk of not accruing a season.

- Have no prior Accrued Seasons in the NFL (An accrued season is six or more games on the active roster);
- Have one prior Accrued Season in which the player was on the 46-man active roster for no more than 8 games
- Essentially, of the 16 spots, 10 have to be rookies or second-year players, while the other six spots have no such limitations.
