NFL roster cuts primer: Everything you need to know

NFL roster cut down day is here. Some teams, like the Philadelphia Eagles, have already begun trimming and now the entire league will be joining them. Here’s a primer for what you need to know.

When is the cut deadline?

All 32 NFL teams are required to be at the 53-man limit before 4:00 PM ET today, Saturday, September 5, 2020.

Will the Eagles’ original 53-man roster be the one we see in Week 1 against Washington?

For the most part, yes, but not entirely.

The Eagles will continue to tweak the roster after the deadline depending on cuts around the league.
