How many players are on each NFL football team?

Answer 1

There can be no more than 53 players on an active team roster.

There is also a stipulation that a team may only carry 45 players on its game day roster, so the team must decide each week on which 8 players will be inactive, or 7 if they carry a 3rd quarterback.

Answer 2

The official number is 45, but typically each team really has 46 players suited up each game because of the "inactive quarterback" rule. Typically the number 3 quarterback is listed as one of the 8 inactive players each week, but is suited up, and is allowed to come into the game under special rules.

Answer 3

Twelve active players are allowed to be on an NBA roster during each individual game.
