Cutdown day is less than two weeks away, and NFL players are sweating it out—literally and figuratively—as they try to prove they deserve a spot on their team's 53-man roster.
For those who are truly on the bubble, they'll have two more preseason games and a handful of training camp practices to make their case. Teams must cut their rosters down to the 53-man limit by 4 p.m. ET on August 31.
Every offseason, a few notable names emerge among those who don't make it through to the final rosters. And we've already seen some examples, from the Green Bay Packers releasing defensive lineman Mike Daniels to the Detroit Lions cutting running back Theo Riddick.
