I think he is talking about the 45 man "active roster" for game day.

I have never understood why they have that rule at all.  All 53 are on the roster.  All 53 travel with the team.  It doesn't save anyone any money or trouble.

So why do they even have that rule?  Is it because so many teams have fewer than 53 when some players are injured?  Try to keep it even by figuring that every team will always have at least 45 players healthy for game day?
