As the regular season approaches, NFL teams are making final preparations on their rosters to get to the maximum number of 53 players.
This is the most stressful time of the year for professional football players, as they await their fate on the NFL rosters they're trying to crack.
As the preseason progresses, teams slowly trim down their personnel. Currently, NFL rosters are standing at a maximum of 75 players, but the final, major purge is coming.
With the regular season looming, NFL rosters must meet the maximum limit of 53 players by Saturday, August 30 at 4 p.m. ET. This will occur after all the teams complete their preseason schedule, which comes to a close on Thursday night. The last preseason game usually acts as a showcase for players on-the-bubble to make a final impression.
Other than simply cutting a player, though, there are a number of ways to trim the final roster down to 53 players. Teams can place players on injured reserve, the physically unable to perform list (PUP) or the 10-man practice squad without having them count against the 53-man roster.
We'll be keeping track of roster cuts as they roll in over the coming hours. Be sure to check back often to see who has just missed the cut.
