I haven't been following closely ... but don't we have expanded roster size due to Covid? Is it really still 53?

It's still 53. Practice squad has been expanded to 16, with 6 spots available to any veteran, and 4 spots protected each week of the season.

There is a provision under the new CBA where the game day roster can be increased by one or two players from the practice squad meaning the game day "active" roster can be increased from 46 to 48 ... but certain conditions must be met. These one or two promoted players are protected and can be moved freely back to the practice squad, but this can only take place twice per player per season. There are other conditions, as well, including one dealing with the number of offensive linemen.
