Wednesday, the NFL announced how its training camp rosters will look and function in 2021. It’ll be a mix of old and new. Teams will start camp with typical, 90-man rosters. That group will be cutdown to 85 by August 17th with another trimming to 80 one week later. The final cutdown to 53 will occur after a team’s third preseason game in late August.
