3rd Quarterback explained please

Happy to do so for you.

 

Each team can carry a 3rd QB on gameday WITHOUT losing a 53-man roster spot.

 

The 3rd QB is "not technically" an inactive - BUT - he may ONLY play if BOTH the #1 and #2 QBs are hurt and cannot return to the field of play.

 

This happened last season when QB Brock Purdy got hurt - and - the Niners had no QB healthy enough to play the remainder of the game.

This is not correct.

 

3rd QBs count against the 53 Man roster, in fact that is the only way they can be used as an emergency QB. Can't be on the PS and be emergency QB.

 

 

They don't count against the 46 active game day roster.

 

There is emergency spots for QB and OL, that allows teams to have 2 extra players that don't count against the 46 active game day roster.

I meant the "gameday roster".  

 

Sorry for any confusion.
