Probably they were on offense, and their team was playing defense, or vice versa. They tend to "specialize," so that a quarterback or a wide receiver wouldn't be playing if his team didn't have possession of the ball, and a linebacker may not be playing if his team DID have possession of the ball. I think.
Does that make any sense in the context you were asking about?
