The preseason is now complete, with the Miami Dolphins concluding their schedule with a 29-26 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. With the end of the preseason comes one of the most difficult days on the football calendar - roster cuts day. Tuesday afternoon marks the deadline for teams to reduce their rosters from the current 80-player limit down to the regular season’s 53-man roster size.
Over the course of Monday and Tuesday, 864 players from around the league will be released, waived, traded, or placed on injured reserve, all as teams try to figure out the right combination of depth players at each roster position.
