  • NFL teams had to cut their 90-player preseason rosters down to 53 players by the league-mandated deadline on Tuesday.
  • The cuts resulted in over 800 players being waived across the league, leading to a flurry of trades and waiver claims as teams shaped their rosters.
  • Several surprise cuts included QB Colt McCoy, QB Bailey Zappe, RB Melvin Gordon III, WR Andy Isabella, and TE Albert Okwuegbunam.
  • Notable trades involved WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette, TE Albert Okwuegbunam, DT Neil Farrell Jr., and LB Joe Thomas.
  • The 53-man rosters will likely remain fluid over the next few days as teams continue to make waiver claims, sign free agents, and place players on various reserve lists.
