He is dressed and at the ready on the sidelines. I'm not sure if he goes up and down the field with them or stands in one location.
As a guy who's been an alternate for a game, it is pretty wierd. I found myself doing little things to be 'in the game' in case anybody went down. I would say the down and distance to myself before each play, as well as the time on the clock. I would look at tendencies by each team based on down and distance and would watch what the officials were doing as far as initial position and how they covered the play as it unfolded to see if there was something they did that I could pick up.
The only spot I knew I wouldn't be going in as was the R, so I kept my eyes on everyone except him.
