Why does the 53 man roster limit exist in NFL?

First of all, why is it 53 and not 55 or 60 or 65?
Secondly, seems like if the NFL is really concerned about head injuries they would increase the roster limits to reduce hits.

Is this the first year you follow a NFL season?

it's a business
during the week, your roster is the guys you have, the practice squad that practices with you but are technically free agents to sign with anybody, plus any dude anywhere you can sign that isn't on a college or another NFL team. i think for games it's actually 45 plus a third quarterback
you can't make such roster additions in the middle of a college season. that's why they have more players

The 53 man roster doesn't bother me, it is the fact that only 45 can dress that bothers me.
Why not let all 53 guys dress?

Indeed.
53 is my least favorite prime number. I could accept 59 or even 61, but NOT 53. I hate that guy.

How would adding more people standing on the sidelines reduce the hits on the field exactly?

The NFL is all about dollars.
There's a reason why major college programs have insane facilities compared to NFL teams - the NFL is all about the bottom line, nothing more, nothing less.

I think they better question is why can only 46 be active on gameday.

Revenue is divided between labor and owners via percentage. Labor can increase their own wages by limiting the roster size, doesn't matter to the owners because they are paying the same % of total revenue regardless if its a 53 or 153 man roster.
