Titans' roster cuts: Everything you need to know about final cuts, practice squad and waivers
Here is what to expect during the NFL's roster cut day where the Tennessee Titans have to trim their roster down from 90 players to 53 players.
Today is cut day for NFL teams, including the Tennessee Titans, as they narrow their roster from 90 players to 53. Players who have at least four seasons of experience on an NFL roster can forego the cut wire and become free agents, provided they have been on the team's roster for six games. Players not meeting this experience requirement will be sent to the waiver wire, where any team can claim them based on their record from the previous season.
The Titans, with a 3-14 record, are the fourth team on the priority list, meaning they will receive players from the higher-ranked teams if they request them. The waiver wire period runs from 6 p.m. EST today until 1 p.m. EST tomorrow. After the wire period, players not claimed will become free agents. Each team maintains a 16-player practice squad, with an option for a 17th player if they participate in the NFL’s International Player Pathway program.
This rule encourages NFL teams to engage with the global aspect of the sport. Practice squad players can be added to the active roster during the season if there are injuries.
