NFL teams reduce rosters to 65 men

Aug. 30 is here, and that means teams around the league must start reducing their rosters in anticipation of the regular season.

Aug. 30 is here, and that means teams around the league must start reducing their rosters in anticipation of the regular season. Teams were required to reach a roster limit of 65 active players by 4 p.m. ET Aug. 30, and so the first round of major roster cuts has occurred.

As teams part ways with their players, NFL.com will keep you posted with every roster cut for this deadline, as well as the 6 p.m. ET roster cut on Sept. 3, when teams must reduce their rosters to 53 players.

An (INJ) next to a player's name indicates that a player was waived after reaching an injury settlement.
