I've read differing things about roster size and active game day roster..
So what is the real info...
Just wondering because I noticed that the UDFA kicker Mccann actually led the NCAA in length of KOs at 64.6yds and had 58 TB on 64 KOs....if we have an increased gameday roster maybe he is our KO specialist....Also new 7th rnd QB could be kept active to run a series of plays that take advantage of his athleticism.
Another note on Mccann is that this was his 1st yr to punt and he averaged 43.2 yd avg

The game-day active roster will increase from 46 to 48 players (although one of the extra players must be an offensive lineman, which will give teams more flexibility to have three extra linemen). Practice squads will expand from 10 players to 12 starting this year and to 14 starting in 2022. Practice-squad salaries also are going up -- the minimum salary is $8,000 per week in the current CBA, and it will rise to $11,500 by 2022 -- and those players will be eligible for 401(k) and tuition assistance benefits.
Two practice-squad players per week may be elevated to the team's roster, meaning game-week roster sizes effectively increase from 53 to 55. And a player elevated from the practice squad to the 55-man roster could be sent back to the practice squad two times without having to clear waivers.
The changes will give teams more flexibility in managing their rosters and, if utilized fully, will offer more opportunity for practice-squad players to earn active-roster salaries.

From my understanding of the new CBA they increased the 53 man and PS by 2.
"Though the roster limit will continue to be 53 for 2020, two players from the practice squad may be brought up to increase roster sizes to 55 on gameday, with those two players reverting back to the practice squad after gameday. Practice squads will also be increased in size from 10 players to 12 beginning this season."
I also ready that 2 extra player can be used on the active game roster, but that one of the extras must be OL.
