For all the big issues (like money) being hashed out in the new collective bargaining agreement proposal, there are a number of smaller issues that will change the way teams utilize their players.
One of those such details is the addition of an extra offensive lineman for game-day active rosters.
Like the old third quarterback rule — in which he could only play if the first two were hurt during a game — the extra blocker would serve as insurance against injuries during games
I suppose this is a step in the right direction. With Peat likely not being re-signed, we'd be losing our backup LT so being able to have an extra lineman active would come in handy.
