The one reason I might be willing to hear an argument advocating for expanding from 53 to 55 is the 17th game that was added by the owners and eventually the 18th game (we know it's coming) that will be added. That creates more potential injury situations due to a longer season and I can see why teams might want to carry an extra couple players on their active roster. They also need to increase the game day active roster once if/when this 18th game is added to the schedule.

What if we keep it 53 but don’t count the specialists against the roster? Kicker/Punter and Long Snapper.
