The deadline for NFL teams to trim their roster down to 53 is August 31st. Guys will be cut, guys that we thought would make the team and some not so much. Things however like injured reserve will come into play in terms of who will be on the roster or not. The Saints might cut someone and sign them back the next day due to the addition of a player on injured reserve. A lot of the guys on the practice squad or on the fence of making the team could be those guys who come back for a guy who is injured or suspended, but for now here’s my prediction.
