On Saturday, NFL teams were required to cut down their squads to a league mandated 53-man initial active roster respectively.
It was a tough day for NFL teams where a lot of equally tough cuts had to be made.
With that being said, there were a number of former Indianapolis Colts who hit the league waiver wire from other NFL teams—in addition to the Horseshoe’s own difficult roster cuts:
- WR Rodney Adams, Chicago Bears
- OC/OG Josh Andrews, New York Jets
- OT Jackson Barton, Kansas City Chiefs
- OG Evan Boehm, Buffalo Bills
- WR Deon Cain, Pittsburgh Steelers
- S Matthias Farley, New York Jets
- DB T.J. Green, Carolina Panthers
- CB Nate Hairston, New York Jets
- OC Jonotthan Harrison, New York Jets
- TE Hale Hentges, Washington Football Team
- WR Krishawn Hogan, Tennessee Titans
- DL Margus Hunt, New Orleans Saints
- DT T.Y. McGill, Philadelphia Eagles
- CB Chris Milton, Tennessee Titans
- WR Donte Moncrief, New York Jets
- WR Chester Rogers, Miami Dolphins
- OC A.Q. Shipley, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- RB Jonathan Williams, Detroit Lions
Former USF players cut Saturday: DE Mike Love (Bills), DT Bruce Hector (Panthers), WR Rodney Adams (Bears), TE Mitchell Wilcox (Bengals), CB Mazzi Wilkins (Bucs), QB Mike White (Jets), CB Kenneth Durden (Titans).

Jets cut both backup centers Jonotthan Harrison and Josh Andrews.

So, they have no backup center at the moment.
The Giants claimed OT Jackson Barton and DB Adrian Colbert from the Chiefs and WR Damion Ratley from the Browns off waivers.

So with David Mayo and Xavier McKinney likely headed to IR Giants will have to make one cut from initial 53.
My biggest Bills surprise who made the 53: LB Del'Shawn Phillips

My biggest surprise cut: OL Evan Boehm
(not counting Roberts or Marlowe who will re-sign)
Ray Ray McCloud made it over Switzer. Deon Cain also cut.

Remember, this 53-man roster is only for now. Sunday is typically a big day for claims. That may be different this year due to the pandemic.
WR Donte Moncrief releases by #Jets
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) September 5, 2020
We have released WR Chester Rogers.
— Miami Dolphins (@MiamiDolphins) September 2, 2020
To get to 53-player cutdown, Bucs are releasing center A.Q. Shipley, who joined the team this week. Makes sense they could re-sign him in next 24 hours.
— Greg Auman (@gregauman) September 5, 2020
The #Lions are releasing RB Jonathan Williams, but he’s expected to be on the practice squad, source said. Also the #Seahawks released DE/LB Shaquem Griffin, as @MikeDugar said.
