Best Answer

In general, 90 total -- 45 on each team.

Each team has an active roster of 53 men, but must declare 8 men inelligible on game day. One of these is almost always the third string quarterback, who is subject to in-game promotion to active if, however if activated, both of the other QBs are then inelligible to return to the game. If a team has three QB on their 45-man roster, they aren't allowed to identify a "promotable" third QB.
