The Jacksonville Jaguars’ staff will be utilizing the next 20 hours trimming their roster down to 53 players as the league’s final roster deadline of Sep. 5 (4:00 p.m. EST) is quickly approaching. After that, fans can begin focusing on the regular season as the Indianapolis Colts will be coming into town on Sept. 13.
The Jags made 11 moves Friday to trim their roster down and will be looking to pick up where they left off Saturday morning. Of course, all of the reported moves won’t officially be confirmed until the team names their 53-man roster, which we’ll be posting as soon as possible.
Here’s a running list of the players who’ve been cut by the team. As we inch closer to the deadline, be sure to refresh the page as we’ll be adding in more names as they come in.
