The Green Bay Packers must make 27 cuts – going from 80 players to an initial 53-man roster – before Saturday’s 3:00 p.m. CT deadline.
GM Brian Gutekunst and coach Matt LaFleur will have hard decisions to make, but it’s not all bad news: Practice squads have been increased from 10 players to 16 this year, so although the team will cut 27 players between now and Saturday, there’s a good chance the Packers will retain a big chunk of their current roster ahead of Week 1’s trip to Minnesota to play the Vikings.
Follow along below as we track all the cuts made by the Packers over the next day or so:
