NFL Pass New Roster Rule Regarding Quarterback's On Game Day

 

While it's been something people have wanted for quite some time, the NFL has finally listened following the 2023 NFC Championship Game, officially passing a rule that allows a team to dress a third Quarterback on game day, similar to the emergency goalie rule used in the NHL.

Now, teams can use a third Quarterback on game day without burning a roster spot, which has been a complaint for many teams in recent years, and is a small change to the rules that helps every team without any negatives coming along with it. 

The NFL bylaw on allowing a third QB to be active without burning a roster spot was approved, per source.

In recent times, the NFL have voted on many new rules and even rule adaptations, and this one seemed so logical that it went through the first time it was taken to a vote, as it is a positive for all teams around the league.
