Covid 2020 has shown the expanded rosters in ML Baseball including Reds were more than needed so far. The NFL may have to adapt adjust as well. Make the roster and reserve roster larger. The NFL will find these teams will get short handed at positions in Covid without expanded rosters. Maybe have same number on sidelines game day, but make it easier to move players back and forth from reserves and have many more players in reserve. Baseball is showing NFL will indeed need expanded rosters.
Baseball had to cast off some hard core traditions in Covid. NFL can't be bogged down by tradition either. The NFL has had small reserve squads and strict rules on how they can be used. That nonsense has to go in 2020 as teams will need larger reserve squads and ability to move players back and forth from reserves as baseball is doing. It is not a year to get bogged down by traditions of normal seasons. This is already not a normal season.
So the Bengals for example would have more in Reserves. That way if people test Covid positive, Bengals have reserves at all positions more than a regular year. Again, Baseball shows NFL will need extra players, they just will.
With no preseason, why even have preseason cut dates. Just let teams carry larger reserve squads. Make it easier to move players back and forth from reserves to roster and back to reserves in Covid season. That way you keep Team Work that you lose with players jumping team to team.
