NFL owners have passed a bylaw that allows teams to have a 3rd QB in uniform (a 47th active player) on gamedays, in case of a worst case scenario situation

Something wrong with that statement. NFL was already at 47 +1 for 8 OLs and add this QB rule we are at 49.
Will this new rule affect the Offensive Line rule and game day rosters?

Under the 2011 CBA, teams were allowed to dress 46 players from their 53-man roster for a game. Under the new deal, they can dress 47. They can also dress a 48th player — as long as the game-day roster includes at least eight offensive linemen. But as we’ve seen, they can choose not just from their active roster, but also from designated practice-squad players — up to two from applications of the SEA, and perhaps more from CDA designations. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2020/...inning-in-2020

If you combine these the OL rule (8) and the QB rule (3) that could be 49 players for game day roster.
I would think this new rule change would mean most NFL team will carry 3 QBs on their roster.
I think Chiefs were probably going to do that anyway with Patrick Mahomes, Blaine Gabbert, and Shane Buechele.
