Tom: "Eligibility: Only players under contract on the 53-man active roster, which is cut to 45 (plus a third quarterback) 90 minutes before kickoff on game day, can play. All players, including those on the practice squad, must be signed to the active roster by 4 p.m. Saturday."
My question if Hagans was listed as the "third" QB thereby placing him on the active roster on game day, could he be inserted into the game as a wide receiver now and then? Thanks in advance ..
Jim Thomas: A good question, and one that I'm going to have to get back to you on. Normally, the third QB can't enter the game until the fourth quarter.
I'm out of time for today. My schedule was tighter today because the Rams practiced. Normally, they don't practice on Tuesdays. The response has been overwhelming, and I know there are many questions that have gone unanswered. I'll be able to stay on a bit longer next Tuesday, when we have an earlier starting time of 1 p.m. See you next week.
