Follow along as we list the big names released on cut day. NFL teams face a pressure-filled weekend as they cut their rosters down from 90 to 53 before Saturday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline. Now that the preseason is over, final cuts must be made before the regular season begins. 1,184 NFL players will hit the free agent market by the time Saturday's deadline arrives. Most of those players will be undrafted free agents but a few names you may recognize will also be cut.

By 4 p.m. eastern standard time, all teams are required to trim their rosters down to 53 players on their active/inactive list. Teams will then have until noon the following day to claim any player placed on waivers due to roster cutting. For many players who have battled throughout the preseason for a position, Saturday can be the most stressful day of the year. And it doesn't matter if you were just drafted in April or have been in the league for years — if a team doesn't think they have a spot for you, you're out. Check out the list of the biggest name on each team in jeopardy of being cut by Saturday's deadline in the list below. The NFL season gets underway on Sept. 6 with a Thursday Night Football matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons.<doc-sep>With the preseason officially over, it's now cut time in the NFL. During the preseason, NFL teams are allowed to carry 90 players on their roster, but that's going to change this weekend when all 32 NFL teams have to cut down to just 53 players. That number means that a total of 1,184 players are going to lose their jobs between now and Saturday afternoon. Under NFL rules, each team has to make their final cuts by 4 p.m ET on Saturday. Most teams started the cut making process on Friday and like always, there were be some shocking moves. One notable player who's already out of a job is Texans punter Shane Lechler, who was cut on Friday after Houston decided to move forward with rookie Trevor Daniel. During early cuts on Saturday, we saw two veteran defensive ends get released in Michael Johnson (Bengals) and Brian Robison (Vikings). The Patriots have also parted ways with running back Mike Gillislee, who scored three touchdowns in the team's regular season opener in 2017. The Cowboys also surprisingly cut ties with the team's all-time leading scorer, kicker Dan Bailey. Besides cuts, you'll likely also see a fair amount of trades this weekend and we've already seen a blockbuster one with the Raiders sending Khalil Mack to Chicago. Anyway, we'll be keeping tabs on every cut over the next 48 hours. The list below will be updated regularly with reported cuts and official cuts throughout the weekend.

Unlike past years, the Philadelphia Eagles did not officially announce a first wave of NFL roster cuts on Friday. The roster still officially stands at 90 players (although it’s unofficially at 81). The Eagles will soon need to trim their roster down to 53 players in preparation for the 2018 NFL regular season. Bleeding Green Nation’s cut-down day coverage has already begun (follow along here). Here’s some basic information on today’s events. When is the cut deadline? All 32 NFL teams are required to be at the 53-man limit before 4:00 PM ET today, Saturday, September 1, 2018. Will that Eagles’ original 53-man roster be the one we see on Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons? For the most part, yes, but not entirely. The Eagles still might continue to tweak the roster after the deadline depending on cuts around the league. The Eagles might try to claim a player at a position of need on waivers. The “problem” with that is the Eagles are dead last in the waiver claim order, since, you know, they won the Super Bowl. You also can’t rule out the Eagles making a trade at any time when Howie Roseman is in charge. What about the practice squad? BGN will a more detailed explanation of the practice squad later, but for now, know that the Eagles can sign up to 10 players to a practice squad that doesn’t count against the 53-man roster. These 10 players are typically young NFL players with little experience. In order to get to the practice squad, a player must clear waivers. After he clears waivers, he becomes a free agent, and then can sign with the practice squad. Note that players on the practice squad can be signed by any other team at any time. The only catch is that the team that signs him will have to keep him on their active roster for at least three weeks and guarantee his pay during that time. Teams can start to form their practice squad after 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, September 2. What is the NFL waiver wire and how does it work? In short, a player who gets cut and has less than four years of service time is placed on waivers. All 31 other teams can place a claim on the player and add him to their 53-man roster. If the player goes unclaimed through waivers, they are free to sign with any team as an unrestricted free agent. The waiver wire order is identical to the 2018 NFL Draft order, so the Eagles will have the 32nd claim on any cuts that take place. Teams with the worse records own the highest waiver claim priority. The waiver period for the weekend ends at 12:00 PM ET on Sunday, September 2. Where can I find full coverage of the Eagles cuts? You can (CLICK HERE) to see BGN’s live cuts tracker.
