2019 Los Angeles Rams 53-man roster cuts tracker (UPDATED)

Well, the idea makes sense. Keep track of all the leaked cuts as the Los Angeles Rams begin paring down their 90-man roster to a 53-man roster before the deadline tomorrow at 4pm ET/1pm PT.

The Rams, though, are notoriously tight-lipped in these kinds of developments. We’ll keep tabs on it nonetheless.

A couple notes on official roster rules:

• Players on the Active/PUP list in training camp/the preseason can transfer to the regular season Reserve/PUP list for the first six weeks without counting on the 53-man. Those players cannot play or practice, but they can work with trainers. After those six weeks, teams have five weeks for him to begin practice; if he doesn’t return to practice in five weeks, he has to remain on the PUP for the entire season. Once he returns to practice, teams have 21 days to activate him to the 53-man roster or leave him on the PUP for the rest of the year. EDGE Ogbonnia Okoronkwo was on the PUP last year, for example.
• The Non-Football Injury (NFI) list is what it sounds like: an option to retain players without counting toward the 53-man due to injuries suffered not due to football. S Lamarcus Joyner was on this list last offseason to start camp.
• Players can be placed on Injured Reserve (IR). They won’t count on the 53-man, but they do count on the salary cap. As of last year, two players are allowed to come off of IR after eight weeks like CB Aqib Talib did.
• Reserve/Suspended lists are for players who have been suspended by the league for any reason. Once the roster is set for the regular season, these players cannot practice with the team or participate in activities until the suspension is lifted. Rams OL Aaron Neary is suspended for the first four games of the season though his season-ending broken ankle makes that irrelevant.
• Teams can form a 10-man practice squad beginning Sunday at 1pm ET/10am PT. The NFL sends out an official Personnel Notice informing teams of which players have had contracts terminated via the waiver system. To be eligible for the practice squad, a player must have three or less accrued seasons. Teams are allowed to have one player with three accrued seasons and four players with two accrued seasons. They can have up to 10 players with one or zero accrued seasons. An accrued season is defined as having been on an active roster for fewer than six games, or were on a 46-man active gameday roster for fewer than nine games. Players can only be on practice squads for three years with a practice squad year counting as six weeks on the practice squad.
