An NFL roster has 53 players on it.
You can dress 45 + 1. See above:
Four guys get deactivated prior to gameday. Four more guys get deactivated on gameday before kickoff. Then the 3rd QB is added.
That third QB can go into the game any time, but if he goes in prior to the 4th quarter, the other two QBs cannot return.

they recently changed this to where receivers can have numbers 10-19 (something like this), so maybe they also messed with other positions like the qb's. you will see weird numbers on receivers, possibly others.
