Who knows, this article was posted a few days after the one dude linked:

Poaching players: Teams can sign players off the practice squad of any other NFL team. That player must be added to the new team’s 53-man roster and be eligible for at least three games. COVID-era practice squad protections which enabled teams to designate four players each week who could not be signed by another team no longer exist.


WTS, I seem to recall the time reference you mentioned. It was to stop another team picking one of your PS players just before game day
