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.
A 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:
