The bad news as NFL teams get down to their league-mandated 53-man rosters is that hundreds of players lost their jobs Tuesday, August 30 by 4:00 pm EST. That’s when the clock stopped for anything more than the final 53.
The good news? That’s a lot of talent on the open market, and teams are looking to place waiver claims on some of those players — and some of those players still have a lot left in the tank.
Here’s how it all works, once it’s time to pick from those players, especially if those players are added to practice squads.
Here are the most interesting players who were cut on Tuesday, and were subsequently added to other rosters on Wednesday.
