After several seasons with multiple cutdown days, the NFL is returning to one deadline for teams to trim their rosters.
During the NFL Owners Meetings on Tuesday, a proposal was approved that would call for the Eagles and 31 other NFL teams to trim down their rosters from a 90-man to a 53-man roster by Tuesday, August 29.
That means over 1,100 cuts around the NFL will take place after the third and final preseason game. https://t.co/lpCX9CSpCy

The deadline was adjusted before the 2020 COVID-19-impacted seasons:
- Roster reduction from 90 to 85
- Roster reduction from 85 to 80
- Final roster reduction from 80 to 53
Teams can release players according to when they see fit, but three different cutdown dates no longer pressure them during the summer.
