While most of the NFL world loves the preseason because it builds anticipation for the start of the real games, it's also a nerve-wracking period for players fighting to make a team's roster.
Right now clubs are permitted to carry 90 players for the preseason. They have to get that number down to 53 by 4 p.m. ET on Aug. 31.
Getting cut doesn't necessarily spell doom for a player because teams are always making tweaks to their roster and injuries happen all the time. There are also spots on the practice squad that keep them around a club in the event they are needed on the main roster.
