When the Atlanta Falcons finish up their final preseason game against the Jaguars, the team will immediately turn their attention to whittling down their current 90 man roster to a final 53. It will be easier this year than most years—the Falcons probably have 46-49 of their spots decided at this point—but there will still be some tough calls.
They’ll need to make all those decisions in a tight timeframe. Roster cuts must be made in full by 4 p.m. on Saturday, September 1, which means the Falcons have 37 (or 36, if they don’t add anyone to their current 89 man roster) decisions to make between Thursday night and then.
