The new rule: Game day rosters were expanded from 46 players to 48 this season, but each team must have eight active offensive linemen. Normally, there would be seven inactives on game day. This year there will be anywhere from five to seven inactives, depending on the number of practice squad call-ups.

So... assuming that we don't bring anyone up from the practice squad, we'll have to make 5 players inactive for the game.

We are carrying 9 linemen (assuming Jackson is healthy), so one lineman. (My guess, Robert Jones)
We are carrying 13 DBs, so at least 2. (Trill Williams, Jamal Perry)
Cethan Carter may not be healthy enough to go. (Carter)
The last one is tougher, but I'm going to go back to the 13 DBs and say... (Elijah Campbell)

any idea why they would bring up jamal jomal wiltz perry from the practice squad as a covid replacement, only to have him inactive on Sunday?

So he'd get a paycheck to make him happy maybe?

No idea really, that 13 DB thing is unprecedented. I keep thinking that there will be a trade, but it never happens.

I still don't get why both teams cant just have all 53 players on the roster be active/. What's the point of having 53 spot you can only use 48 of them?

It's to compensate for injuries on the other team.
If all 53 could be active, and say NE had 7 guys injured who couldn't play, and we were at full force, we'd have 53 guys to chose from and sub in and NE would only have 46.
So you don't dress whatever...7 guys....and it compensates for some of the injury imbalance.
Anyway, that's what I've heard. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

could be absolutely true, but picking 7 guys on a 53 man roster to be inactive randomly seems weird to me.

just expand the roster by a few players and let everybody be active?

some teams are always going to have nicked up guys, if they have 53 (or more) active players they should be able to deal with it.

Ya but if NE had 7 guys injured going into the game then they can bring up 7 guys from their practice squad.
