Last year the Colts carried 3 QB's the entire season. They wanted to protect Eason and not expose him to the waiver wire. It would be the same question here - do you want to protect Ehlinger or expose him to the waiver wire and hope he makes it to the practice squad. I think chances are low that any team makes a waiver claim (the chances might be near zero if Ehlinger throws another INT or two during the next preseason game).
Teams will need to reach 53 players on the final cutdown day. Yes, the COVID-related roster rules have been extended this year and teams can elevate up to 2 practice squad players to the active game day roster resulting in a total of 55 players.
