Maybe I'm not in the loop on much, but I did follow with some reasonable attention to the offseason bs surrounding the lockout. My biggest concern seems to have been either inadvertently or deliberately shelved.

Here it is, 3 weeks into the season, and the staggering number of injuries mounting for EVERY team makes me question why so few players are on each team. 46 active for each game? 53 on the roster each week? 8 players on the practice squad???

We already have 5 players on IR/PUP, and last year we wound up having 16 players.

Why didn't the League and the Players make a change to the size of the rosters? Every year, the issues don't change. Players get hurt, not enough time to bring substitutes in, unfamiliarity and lack of conditioning causes more injuries. The cycle is so predictable and certain it's laughable that
neither side addressed it!

Can they change it now? What's the right size? What are the impediments to altering these stupid rules?
