Teams must wait until after 4:00 PM ET on that date to preserve a player’s eligibility to return. In conjunction with the roster cut to 53, the league will process waiver claims for players released at final cuts the following day (Wednesday, August 31st) at 12 noon Eastern time, after which time teams can begin signing players to their practice squads.Īdditionally, August 31st is also the date after which players placed on injured reserve are eligible to return during the season. Here are the dates of those deadlines for 2022:Įach of these deadlines takes place at 4:00 PM Eastern Time on the days listed. That will continue for this year as there will be cuts following each week of the preseason, first from 90 to 85, then to 80, and finally to the final 53-man roster. However, last year’s move to a three-game preseason coincided with a new approach.
That went away in 20, when the league voted to move to a single cut from 90 to 53, but 2020 found the NFL moving back to a two-step cut from 90 to 80 to 53 in 2020. Several years ago, the league had a two-phase cut, trimming offseason rosters from 90 to 75 before the final cut-down to 53. This year, the NFL is sticking with a three-phased roster cut process that it used for the first time in 2021. Here’s a look at those critical dates during the season as well as a look ahead to next spring’s major events. Before next offseason arrives, however, there are a number of important deadlines coming up.Īmong those dates are the official cut-down dates for the upcoming preseason, as well as the 2022 trade deadline. On Tuesday, the NFL set its schedule for the next calendar year, setting in stone all critical dates between now and the start of next year’s spring practices.
