Third quarterback process outlined by NFL

The NFL reinstated the third quarterback rule. It has some fresh modifications this time.

First, the third quarterback must be on the 53-man roster. This might make many teams never use it.

[{"selector":"#anim-2193afee-b5fd-4106-b405-083272cb002d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8519b2b6-bc3d-4fc0-9e2b-5dfa2565bce7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 140.85166%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Teams who do may dress the third quarterback without counting him against the game-day limit.

[{"selector":"#anim-c8d5ffc8-c7f1-46d7-b48c-3d43b8555f2c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-37c4c235-f4ad-472b-9cb1-7dd7917f4cf3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 140.85166%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Only if the other two quarterbacks are injured or ejected can the third enter.

The league gave all clubs a rule reminder on Monday. The emergency quarterback must be a “bona fide” quarterback, not a backup.

[{"selector":"#anim-047aedfd-b653-42f9-afb7-223ec000fdb0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-02d14dd8-7352-483a-8605-dfdc09b9c886","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 115.30501%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, the renowned recount their love beyond stars and moons.

[{"selector":"#anim-7e1d7be5-b228-4595-825e-ae7938f4806b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-972c9d21-6d1d-4f43-aee9-0da8a43ebe74","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 182.34278%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The letter further states that the third quarterback may only remain in the game if the first two quarterbacks are out.

[{"selector":"#anim-af2b429d-cae1-4da9-b3a3-71e2d4ba0253","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5973cda3-1a16-404b-b149-dd75daf80066","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 140.85166%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
