Colts roster cuts tracker: Keeping tabs on every 2024 decision image

The Indianapolis Colts have begun cutting the roster as they work to get down to 53 players before the deadline Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. ET.

Keep in mind the different verbiage when a player is let go as well. A released player is a vested veteran— those who have accrued four seasons in the NFL. They immediately become free agents.

waived player has not accrued four seasons and must go through waivers. All other teams will have a chance to claim waived players on their 53-man roster by 12:00 p.m. ET on Aug. 28.

The Colts are 15th in the waiver order so half of the league will have the chance to potentially claim players they like after being waived.

Here’s a tracker keeping up with the latest roster cuts for the Colts before Tuesday's deadline:
