In essence it already is 55.
In addition to the 53 man roster, teams can pull up two guys from the practice squad each week. Teams then have 55 guys available when choosing their 48 actives for a game.
From this site [
985thesportshub.com] :
"... the league is increasing the number of times players can be elevated from the practice squad – an option that was originally put in place for the 2020 season. For the last two years, each practice squad player could be added to the gameday roster twice a year without being added to the 53-man roster or subjected to waivers. That number will increase to three this season, with up to two players allowed to be elevated per game. "
