Last season, teams were about to keep their offseason roster together until the last minute of final cuts, due to various factors that Covid forced onto the league. This year, teams must get to 85 players by August 17th (tomorrow), 80 players by August 24th, and eventually 53 players by August 31st. The good news is that the expanded practice squad of 16 is here to stay, meaning north of 85 percent of players still on the roster on August 24th could make the team in some form or fashion.
Two Packers were released today in advance of tomorrow’s deadline, according to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky: offensive lineman Jon Dietzen and punter Ryan Winslow.
