As usual, the second week of the NFL season has brought more injuries and concerns for teams, fans, and fantasy managers. With several players questionable heading into Week 3, all eyes will be on Sunday’s NFL inactives for a variety of reasons. Let’s take a look at the Week 3 inactives for Sunday’s slate of games.
NFL Inactives for Week 3
Each week, teams may only dress 48 players, with added exceptions for quarterback and offensive line. You will see some teams list a QB as inactive and designate him the “third quarterback” or “emergency quarterback,” meaning he can play if things get dire. Usually, teams will name between three and seven inactives, depending on roster size and practice-squad elevations.
