    NFL rosters are currently allowed to carry 53 active players. According to ProFootballTalk, the league is exploring a possible expansion of two players per team.

    unless they expand the gameday roster this has little meaning.

    well run teams would be able to keep 2 more players away from the rest of the league.

    It is difficult for me to imagine the Titans being better off with this.

    They did bump the practice squads from 8 to 10 a year ago, so like you said, unless they up the 47-man gameday rosters this move is stupid.

    But it would be nice to get to activate an extra Tackle or WR some weeks.

    I have always thought NFL rosters were too small.

    This is all part of the master plan to expand to 40 teams with 20 game seasons and 75 players on the roster. The catch is players can only participate in 16 games a season. And 4 of those 8 new teams are in Europe.
