75-80 players in camp, BUT 90 guys on the TC roster.  Those bottom 10-15 get paid to stay in shape away from the facility, but are ready to come in to the next practice after a guy gets injured or goes into quarantine due to positive testing.  When the injured player is healthy enough to resume practice, or a player is able to return from quarantine, then someone is put back into this reserve group.  It does not have to be the same player who came from the reserve group originally, meaning guys who make the most of their shot at practice can impress the staff and earn the position.

While this makes sense on the surface, my fear would be one of the guys on "reserve" comes in and infects more guys.  I know complaining about the Rona is a bit like pissing in to the wind, but it is almost like the universe said:  "Sorry, Bengal fans.  I know you just got Joe Burrow, but I'm unleashing a global pandemic".
