A CFL team has 45 players on their “active” roster (i.e., dressed for game day), plus, it looks like, one or two players on an inactive “reserve” list. That doesn’t include players who are on the “injured” list or the “disabled” list; if you add those all up, by the end of a football season (it’s not uncommon for a pro football team to lose one or two players to longer-term injuries every game), I can see how it could approach 60.
