A lot of players depend on preseason to try and make rosters.
If you wait until the regular season to cut down to 53, you are going to run into a cap/financial situation that teams will not want to get into. Too many players contracts will become guaranteed and that will be a problem for teams.2 preseason games, 18 regular season. Cut down to 53 after week 3 of the regular season.
