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.

An NFL practice squad typically consists of 16 players. These players are not part of the active roster but can practice with the team and may be elevated to the active roster during the season if needed. The practice squad allows teams to develop young talent and provide depth for the main roster.
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.
Only if one player is hurt or released.
