Roster Cutdown Live Thread
September 1, 2018
by Steve Thomas
The Redskins, like all NFL teams, need to reduce their active roster down to 53 no later than 4:00 pm ET today. The Redskins need to make a total of 37 transactions. It will be a tough day for everyone involved, but we will do our best to keep this post continually updated as we get verifiable information on the players being cut, so keep checking in here for all of the details.
The practice squad will be filled on Sunday afternoon, and we’ll post the list here when available, but we very likely will not post the string of rumors here. There’s a limit to the amount of brain damage even I am willing to put up with for one weekend.
