Tracking NFL cuts for all 32 teams: Who’s out as teams trim down to 53-man rosters

The 2024 NFL season will kick off next week as the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs play host to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, Sept. 7 (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC), which means teams are cutting their rosters in preparation.

Teams were required to finalize their 53-man rosters by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. With the preseason already in the books, teams began making their 2024 roster cuts over the weekend.

Several notable cuts happened, including the Chiefs parting ways with wide receiver Kadarius Toney and the New England Patriots releasing quarterback Bailey Zappe.

There have also been multiple trades this week, including the Green Bay Packers acquiring quarterback Malik Willis from the Tennessee Titans.

As every team makes cuts official, our NFL Nation reporters will provide live updates on which players didn’t make the roster.

Biggest move:
Releasing wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. shouldn’t come as a complete surprise. Although the 2021 second-round pick had a solid camp, outplaying 2024 first-round pick Xavier Legette, his lack of production the past two seasons and not playing special teams was a factor. That David Moore plays special teams and has experience under coach Dave Canales made him more valuable. Although the roster appears stronger than a year ago, it’s far from set. Carolina needs help at outside linebacker, cornerback and depth on the offensive line, plus it has the top waiver-wire pick. Look for multiple pickups and ensuing cuts. — David Newton

Biggest move: No major position battles for starting spots took place during training camp, but Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Tyler Huntley competed to be the No. 3 quarterback. In the end, the Browns kept all four quarterbacks, including starter Deshaun Watson and primary backup Jameis Winston, on the initial 53-man roster. Cleveland has had trade talks regarding its backups and the situation remains fluid, a source said. The Browns released veteran running back D’Onta Foreman and kept just two backs on their initial roster, so more shuffling is expected before Week 1. — Daniel Oyefusi

Traded: DL Chris Williams, K Cade York

Biggest move: Trading DE Trevis Gipson was a bit of a surprise since the team signed him in the offseason to be a reserve pass rusher behind Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker. But Arik Armstead, whom the team signed three days before Gipson, will rush from outside as well as inside, so that was going to cut into Gipson’s time. — Michael DiRocco

Traded: DE Trevis Gipson
