Keeping Track Of Patriots' Trades, Cuts, Roster Moves Before 53-Man Deadline
BOSTON (CBS) -- The Patriots, like all NFL teams, must trim their roster to just 53 players by 4 p.m. on Saturday.
In the past, the NFL had two separate cutdown days, which worked to limit the madness that can ensue in the 40 or so hours between the end of the final preseason game and the 4 p.m. deadline on Saturday. Now, though, with rosters shrinking from 90 to 53 in a tight window, it can get a bit chaotic.
To help fight the mayhem, well do our best here to track all of the comings and going from the Patriots' roster, between now and 4 p.m. on Saturday.
