The Cleveland Browns have until Tuesday at 4:00 PM ET to make roster cuts and announce their initial 53-man roster.
Some of those cuts or rumors about roster moves might leak early, though. Or, in the case of the Browns, they might announce a lot of their first round of cuts early.
All players that are released must go through waivers and are eligible to be claimed by any other team until 12:00 PM ET on Wednesday. After that, any unclaimed player can be signed and teams will begin to fill out their
16-man practice squads.

Browns Roster Cuts Live Blog
Sunday
4:18 PM: After his poor performance against Cleveland last week, it’s no surprise that the Eagles are releasing QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson.
In other former Browns news, the Rams have waived LB Tony Fields.
4:15 PM: In case you missed it, I (Chris Pokorny) posted my annual 53-man roster projection on Saturday. So far, a cornerback is the only player I’ve missed out on, but we’ll see how I do on the rest of the projection.
4:08 PM: I didn’t even get a chance to welcome everyone to the live blog, as the Browns were quick to make the announcement below, basically 24 hours after their final preseason game concluded.
The 21 moves bring the Browns’ roster from 90 players to 69 players. However, three of those remaining players (QB Deshaun Watson, WR David Bell, and DT Michael Hall) are projected to begin on the PUP or NFI lists, which means it’s more like 66 players remaining. That would leave 13 cuts remaining to get down to 53 players.
The initial moves weren’t too much of a surprise; maybe CB Tony Brown, but it’s not a shocker by any stretch.
4:00 PM: The Browns got started early with their roster cuts, terminating four veterans and waiving 17 other players:
