The 2023 NFL preseason is over, and all 32 teams must now begin trimming their rosters from 90 to 53 players.
Unlike in previous years, there is now only one cutdown day — Tuesday, Aug. 29, at 4:00 p.m. ET.
It’s one of the more difficult days on the NFL calendar as the dreams of some young players will end while others are looking to catch on with other teams if not retained on either the 53-man roster or practice squad.
The Washington Commanders began making cuts on Monday morning. While it’s difficult to follow every move, we have you covered.
