The reshuffling of Week 15 of the 2021 NFL season has meant we will have double the Monday inactives to keep an eye on. Which players will be listed among the inactives for the four NFL teams playing tonight?
NFL inactives for tonight’s doubleheader
Each NFL team can only dress 48 players for any given game. Therefore, with up to 55 players able to be on a roster on gameday, teams must list any beyond that 48 as part of their inactives.
