Can NFL practice squad players sign with another nfl team's practice squad while still under contract with there present team?
No. A player cannot be signed from one practice squad to another. A practice squad player from one squad can be signed to the ACTIVE roster of another squad easily, but they must remain on the new team's active roster (as long as they're healthy) for the remainder of the season

In the national football league what does practice squad deletion mean?
In the NFL, the teams are allowed to have 53 players on their roster. Of these 53 players, 45 are allowed to dress for a game. The players on the roster that don't dress for a game are considered to be on the 'practice squad'. Should a team decide to cut one of those players on the practice squad, it is called a 'practice squad deletion'. In the same vain, if a team picks up a player and adds him to the practice squad it is called a 'practice squad addition'.
Can a NFL practice squad team member travel to away games?
Practice Squad players do not travel to away games with their respective teams. Practice squad players are not elligible to play in games until they are added to their team's 53 man roster, so it would be pointless to bring them on the road. Check the link below for the portion f the NFL CBA that covers the Practice Squad.
What is the purpose of the NFL practice squad?
The practice squad consists of players that the team really likes but doesn't think are ready to play full time. These practice squad players are usually young, rookies and second year. Sometimes, should an injury occur to one of the regular players a player from the practice squad will be promoted to the regular squad to replace him.
Can a player on an nfl practice squad be moved up to the regular roster anytime in regular season should there be a spot due to an injury leaving a player out for the remainder of the season?
Yes. The player's current team can promote him or another team can sign him to a contract. Practice squad members are considered free agents therefore, should another team sign one of the practice squad members, no compensation is given to the player's former team. Should another team sign a practice squad player, the player must be placed on his new team's 53 man roster for a minimum of three weeks. The 2008 season salary for practice squad members is $5,200 per week.
What are the requirements to be placed on the practice squad?
Basically, 53 players make a football squad in the NFL. Of those 53, 45 dress to play for a game. The others are considered the 'practice squad'. There are no real requirements to be on the practice squad other than the coaching staff believes that you are the 46th-53rd best player on the team. The practice squad is very important since if someone on the 45 man active roster gets hurt, the first place a team will look to replace the injured player is the practice squad.The above is incorrect. The practice squad is an additional group of 8 players in addition to the regular roster of 53. For each game, 8 of the 53 players are designated as "inactive" for the game, but that is separate from the practice squad.
What is the starting salary for an NFL scout?
Each NFL team may keep up to eight members on their "practice squad" in addition to their 53-member main roster. They consist mostly of rookies who were cut in training camps and borderline NFL-caliber players. Both rookies and young veterans are eligible for the practice squad. However, a player cannot participate on the practice squad for more than three seasons. Practice squad players practice alongside regular roster players during the week, but they are not allowed to play in actual games. They can be paid considerably less than active squad players: The minimum salary from 2008 to 2010 is $5,200 per week (2008-2010)[1] for 17 weeks, or $88,400 per season, in comparison to the NFL minimum rookie salary of $285,000. (Some practice squad players are paid considerably more, however: In 2006, the New England Patriots paid third-year player Billy Yates the full $425,000 he would have earned on the active roster.)[2] Players can be promoted to the active roster either by their current team, or by another team who is scouting them. They retain free agent status and may sign with any team they wish without compensation to the original team.
