It doesn\'t happen too often because you have to open a roster spot, and keep that player for 3 weeks.
Most players on a practice squad are developmental types and are no better than most teams 53 man roster.
A practice squad player from another team has to learn a new system.

It usually only happens when a team loses more than 1 player at the same position and need emergency depth. Or when a team places somebody on IR for the season and there\'s a particular player they\'ve had their eyes on for a while and we feel its worth a 3 week roster spot.
