So the players on the Rams practice squad can practice with the Rams. But in general if some other team wants them all they would have to do is sign them on their team. It looks there is a new rule that allows a team to protect 4 PS players which is great.

The global pandemic spawned a new wrinkle to the practice squad format. The NFL originally planned on slowly increasing the squad size, but with so much uncertainty surrounding the 2020 NFL season, they raised the practice squad size from 12 to 16 players. It was a win for everyone that matters.
The practice squad rules aren’t necessarily difficult to follow, but there are more rules than one might expect:
Expansion of practice squads to 16 players, including up to
six with an unlimited amount of accrued seasons.The ability to protect up to four practice squad players per week from being signed by other teams.Elevation of up to two practice squad players to the active roster, without removing any current players, before 4 PM ET the day before a game.
Elevation of an additional practice squad player within 90 minutes before kickoff in the event of a late COVID-19 positive test result.
Practice squad salaryThe practice squad salary rules also have a bit of nuance to them, depending on the player’s status. Players with fewer than two accrued seasons will make $9,200/week. For the potential six players with more than two seasons under their belt, it’s even sweeter. They’ll make $14,000/week throughout the season.
Starting next season, there will be a different scale for the veteran players that slides depending on service time.
