When are NFL roster cuts in 2020?

• Roster cuts deadline: Saturday, Sept. 5
• Deadline time: 4 p.m. ET

NFL teams are free to cut players whenever they want, but when the deadline of 4 p.m. ET on Saturday, Sept. 5 arrives, all 32 rosters must consist of no more than 53 players on the active/inactive list. (Teams already had to trim their training camp rosters to a maximum of 80 players by Aug. 16.)


There will be a claiming period for the players who are placed on waivers during roster cut-downs, but that period will expire at noon ET on Sunday, Sept. 6.

An hour after that claiming period ends, teams will be able to begin constructing their 16-player practice squads. Below is the full schedule for NFL roster cuts/construction.

Aug. 16	Deadline to cut training camp rosters to 80 players
Sept. 5	4 p.m. ET deadline to cut rosters to 53 players
Sept. 6	Waiver claim period after cuts ends at noon ET
Sept. 6	Teams can begin signing practice squad players at 1 p.m. ET
Sept. 10	Top 51 rule expires
