The Green Bay Packers have cut their roster down in time for the NFL’s first cut deadline of training camp. All teams must trim from 90 to 85 players on the active roster before 4:00 PM Eastern on Tuesday, and the Packers elected to make their moves prior to Tuesday’s practice, the first of two joint practices with the New Orleans Saints.
In fact, the Packers actually got started with roster cuts on Monday, releasing outside linebacker Randy Ramsey, offensive lineman Cole Schneider, and cornerback Donte Vaughn. However, the team also added a player, tight end Nate Becker, via a waiver claim from the Carolina Panthers.
