With the regular season upon us, so comes with it the cutting of players.
While all eyes will be on the cut down to the 53-man roster at the beginning of September, the Jacksonville Jaguars have to get things started by trimming rosters down from a maximum of 90 players to 75 before the end of August.
Teams have until August 30 to whittle down to 75 players, less than a week before the September 3 deadline to get the rosters to 53. But players who receive the pink slip a few days early typically have a harder time earning a valuable spot on a practice squad.
