The extra person on the field was the alternate official. Since the game clock in the stadium wasn't working properly, the alternate was keeping the clock on the field. He was out on the field so he could notify the R how much time was left after each play. The R would then announce this over his microphone after he marked the ball ready for play. That way, everyone in the stadium would know how much time was on the clock.
