**GREEN BAY, Wis. —** It's that bittersweet time of year on the NFL calendar when teams across the league have to trim their rosters down to the 53-man limit. Not long after, they'll begin to assemble their 16-man practice squads.

In the Green Bay Packers' case, general manager Brian Gutekunst and head coach Matt LaFleur will have some strenuous decisions to make. The roster battles at wide receiver, linebacker and cornerback, among others, have been well-documented throughout the summer. The Packers have completed the full training camp slate, played three exhibition contests and participated in a pair of joint practices with the Indianapolis Colts and Seattle Seahawks. All of the necessary information is at their disposal to begin the process of cuts.

"You gotta say goodbye to a lot of guys who busted their butts for months and months and years,"  said LaFleur after Saturday's win in the preseason finale. "I appreciate that locker room. I think we have a great group of guys. We'll be excited for the guys who make it and it's always disappointing for those who don't."

All 32 teams have until Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline to submit their 53-man rosters. The Packers will have to release 37 players—they technically house 91 on their current rosters with the inclusion of Irish kicker Mark McNamee, who will be granted a roster exemption through the league's International Player Pathway program.
