The NFL preseason is always an exciting time. After a six-month hiatus, we finally have football back in our lives.
While the end of the preseason marks the beginning of the regular season, it also signifies the end of a dream — at least temporarily — for many football players. During the preseason, NFL clubs are able to carry 90 players on their rosters. During the regular season, they are only allowed 53, plus a 16-man practice squad.
Even if teams have a maximum-size practice squad, that means they have to cut at least 21 players from their preseason rosters. Additionally, to add someone to the practice squad, they must first be released and then re-signed. This means that players will have the chance to sign elsewhere or to return to the practice squad. Roster cuts for the 2025 season must be made by Tuesday, August 26 at 4 p.m. ET.
