A tracker for all the cuts made by the Indianapolis Colts as they trim their roster down to just 53 players for the Tuesday deadline.
With training camp and the preseason now over, the Indianapolis Colts and every other team must trim their rosters from 80 players to 53 by the deadline of 4:00 pm ET on Tuesday, August 30. The final 53-man roster will be the active roster that teams carry into the regular season.
For the players released, it doesn’t necessarily mean the end of their NFL careers, or that they’re officially done with the team that released them. Waived players, players who have been in the NFL for less than four years, could either be claimed on waivers by other franchises or they could clear waivers and sign with any team or possibly return to the practice squad of the team that released them.
The Colts have already begun making several cuts including a surprising release of veteran running back Phillip Lindsay. Below is a tracker for all the moves Indy makes as the team works to reach the 53-man limit.
