Final 53-man roster projections for all 32 NFL teams

The NFL season kicks off Thursday, Sept. 5, when the Chicago Bears play host to the Green Bay Packers. Between now and then, teams need to cut their rosters from 90 players to 53. The cuts must be made by 4 p.m. ET on Saturday.

ESPN's NFL Nation projects what those rosters will look like below.

The Bills will keep both Isaiah McKenzie and Duke Williams after a tightly contested competition for the team's final receiver spot. McKenzie's catch-and-run ability out of the slot may be more valuable than Williams' physical skill set, which is a tad redundant with the emergence of Tommy Sweeney at tight end.
