The Miami Dolphins will face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tomorrow night in an NFL Preseason Week 2 contest. Once again, the results of this game do not mean anything once the regular season begins, but the performances on the field could go a long way to deciding who makes and who misses the 53-man roster.
The NFL allows teams to carry 90 players during the offseason, through training camp, and on to the preseason. After all of that is complete, however, the teams must all get down to the 53-man roster limit as the calendar moves to September and the regular season begins.
