Tracking Packers’ cuts down to initial 53-man roster
The Green Bay Packers must make 27 cuts – going from 80 players to an initial 53-man roster – before Saturday’s 3:00 p.m. CT deadline.
GM Brian Gutekunst and coach Matt LaFleur will have hard decisions to make, but it’s not all bad news: Practice squads have been increased from 10 players to 16 this year, so although the team will cut 27 players between now and Saturday, there’s a good chance the Packers will retain a big chunk of their current roster ahead of Week 1’s trip to Minnesota to play the Vikings.
