I wonder if players are grandfathered in with that rule change.

 

 They expanded the following modification from 2014 to 4 players this season.   This is why Stephen Hill MIGHT have P.S. eligibility and why I thought Ryan Davis had P.S. eligibility,  until realizing with the help of another poster, in another thread,  that Davis was on the Jaguars 53 man roster since 2013.

However, beginning in 2016, the NFL is allowing four players per practice squad to have two accrued seasons, making it easier for teams to have experienced players on their practice squad. In the previous agreement, only two players with two accrued seasons were allowed to be on a practice squad.

 

A player is allowed on the practice squad for up to two years, with one year counting as six weeks in a season. A third year on the practice squad is only allowed if the team keeps 53 players on their active roster at all times.
