New NFL rule will impact initial cut to 53-man roster

The details of the NFL are either really interesting or boring to fans. Some just want to see the game on the field and don’t care how you get there while others love every piece of the process.

For a long time, the first cut down to the 53-man roster had a unique twist for many teams where veterans were cut so an injured player could stick around for a day. Just before the start of the 2019 NFL season, the Cleveland Browns cut starting left tackle Greg Robinson so that OL Drew Forbes could make the team and be placed on injured reserve the following day.
