The bad news as NFL teams get down to their league-mandated 53-man rosters is that hundreds of players lost their jobs Tuesday, August 30 by 4:00 p.m. EST. That’s when the clock stopped for anything more than the final 53.
The good news? That’s a lot of talent on the open market, and teams are looking to place waiver claims on some of those players — and some of those players still have a lot left in the tank.
Here’s how it all works, once it’s time to pick from those players, especially if those players are added to practice squads.
16-Man #NFL Practice Squads

▪️ Salaries are non-guaranteed

Here are the most interesting players who were cut on Tuesday, and were subsequently added to other rosters on Wednesday.
