Michael Floyd contributed a little after joining the New England Patriots in December, but he was inactive in the AFC Championship and is on the list of inactive players again for Super Bowl LI.

Every NFL team carries 53 players on the roster, but is only allowed to declare 46 as active for games. That typically gives room for some injured players to be listed as inactive, but players that aren’t available for the Super Bowl likely would’ve been placed on injured reserve earlier in the year.
Here is the full list of inactive players for Super Bowl LI:
Falcons | Pos | Patriots | Pos |
|---|
None of the inactive players were starters or expected to make a significant impact. The most notable injury of the game is the fractured fibula suffered by Falcons center Alex Mack, but he will play through the pain.
Floyd was acquired by the Patriots off waivers after he was released by the Arizona Cardinals due to a DUI arrest.
Here are both teams’ full rosters and projected starters, via the NFL:
