[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 879999"] I doubt they would have that level of confidence, but how much less? $8 mil less? You know, per the new CBA, teams have to carry 8 OL on the game day roster in order to take advantage of the expanded game day active roster of 48 players. Otherwise, only 46 can be active on game day. I would expect most teams to make every effort every week to get to that 48 player limit. Those two extra players help quite a bit in covering all the bases, i.e., two in-game injuries per position. The 8th. OL would likely get work blocking on kicks to give another OL starter some rest. In any case, that was the rationale behind this rule change. So, lets say an OL has a minor injury and goes game day inactive. You need a 9th. guy. You could promote a guy temporarily from the practice squad for a couple of games then send him back without him having to be cut and clear waivers (another new rule). But in the world according to Covid-19, a team in desperate need of their own 8th. OL might sign your 9th. guy away off your practice squad. Linsley or no Linsley, there's one good reason to keep 9 OLs on the roster. [/QUOTE]
