It is time for my 53-man roster projection for the Cleveland Browns. General Manager Andrew Berry will have to trim the roster from 80 players to 53 players by 4:00 PM ET on Tuesday, August 31. This projection is based on the weeks of training camp reports, the preseason games to date, and my general instincts.
There is still one preseason game to go, but teams often announce roster cuts the day after the final game, so I wanted there to be some lead time for everyone to discuss their own projections.
