With the preseason complete and the regular season only five days away, the Green Bay Packers and the 31 other NFL teams need to cut their rosters down to 53 players before Saturday’s 3:00 p.m. CT deadline.
Here’s a live, updating tracker of the Packers’ cuts:
Roster cuts
CB Kabion Ento (Ryan Wood): Rookie converted from receiver and made standout plays during games and practices. Could be a practice squad candidate.
WR J’Mon Moore (Ryan Wood): 2018 fourth-round pick never seriously threatened for a roster spot this summer.
K Sam Ficken (Tom Pelissero): Mason Crosby has won the kicking competition, at least for now.
CB Jocquez Kalili (Aaron Wilson): Rookie signed last Sunday had no chance.
OT Gerhard de Beer (Gerhard de Beer): Played a bunch of snaps at right tackle but didn’t develop enough in Year 2. Practice squad candidate.
WR Teo Redding (Bill Huber): Made a late push in the finale but didn’t stand out enough during camp. Practice squad candidate.
LB Brady Sheldon (Bill Huber): Improved consistently throughout the preseason and made a run at a roster spot at a weak position. Possible practice squad candidate.
WR Malik Taylor (Jim Owczarski): The last receiver on the depth chart didn’t have a chance.
OL Anthony Coyle (Bill Huber): Made way too many mistakes during preseason games.
OL Dejon Allen (Matt Schneidman): Signed Thursday morning, played Thursday night, cut Friday morning.
TE Pharaoh McKever (Jim Owczarski): Big-bodied tight end failed to make a push behind the top five options at the position.
DL Deon Simon (Bill Huber): The veteran made plays against the run but he was stuck in a deep position.
FB Malcolm Johnson (Matt Schneidman): Injuries ruined his chances of making a run at a roster spot. Practice squad candidate.
CB Jackson Porter (Ryan Wood): Former Raven just signed this week.
FB Tommy Bohanon (Ryan Wood): Veteran fullback lasted a couple weeks as an injury fill in. Could be an option in-season should injuries hit again.
CB Nydair Rouse: The rookie got picked on in the passing game most of the summer.
S Tray Matthews (Ryan Wood): He played really well to finish the preseason. Practice squad candidate.
LB James Folston (Jim Owczarski): Spent only five days in Green Bay but tallied a sack in the preseason finale.
