Follow along with all of the Green Bay Packers’ cuts as they shape their 53-man roster ahead of Saturday’s 3 pm CT deadline.
In just over a week the Green Bay Packers will be kicking off the 2020 season against their division rival the Minnesota Vikings. But before we get there, we have to make it through cut day, as the Packers shape their final 53-man roster.
