Roster cutdown day is here, with NFL teams needing to get to 53 men before the league’s 4 p.m. deadline. The Jets got an early start ahead of the deadline, knocking 14 spots off their roster: they waived/released 13 players and agreed to trade Derrick Nnadi back to the Chiefs (pending his physical).

The 2025 NFL preseason is done and dusted. Now comes the hard part for all 32 teams. Front offices and coaching staffs will cut rosters down from 90 to 53 players. Most will be waived and others could come off the roster via injury designations and other routes.

With the preseason in the books, roster cuts are upon us, where the Chicago Bears have to trim their roster from 90 to 53 players before 3 p.m. CT on Tuesday. Unlike previous summers, there is just one cutdown day as opposed to gradual cuts throughout the preseason.
