In this story:


How many former Mizzou football players are in the NFL? The number changes on a regular basis, and Missouri Tigers On SI regularly updates its Tigers in the NFL Database to provide the latest on who is listed on NFL rosters, by team and by position.

There is one one time of the year, though, when there's an official answer to that question. Only on opening weekend, when the rosters are locked for Week 1, does the NFL do an official breakdown of the active players (practice squads and players on injury lists do not count toward the active roster).

Countdown day in the NFL was Tuesday, when all rosters had to be reduced to 53 players. Teams can subsequently signed players to practice squads.
