Here's the practice squad eligibility requirements from the CBA:
Quote:
Section 4. Eligibility:
(a) The practice squad shall consist of the following players, provided that they have not served more than one previous season on a Practice Squad: (i) players who do not have an Accrued Season of NFL experience; and (ii) free agent players who were on the Active List for fewer than nine regular season games during their only Accrued Season(s). No player may be a practice squad player for more than two seasons.

The practice squad was also expanded to 8 players this season-- which I'm sure made Joe Gibbs ecstatic with the idea of being able to groom 3 extra players without counting them on the active roster.
I suspect Hamdan will return to the practice squad for one more year-- though Hasselbeck looked really bad at the last minicamp, so I don't know. If Hasselbeck doesn't look better in this week's minicamp, they may start looking for another veteran #3 QB to take his place.
