After weeks of practice, preseason tune-ups and speculation, it's finally here: NFL cutdown day.
By 4 p.m. Saturday, every team must trim their roster down to 53 players. Follow along here to know who the Redskins cut, keep, trade for, or sign.
The Redskins will reportedly announce the full list of roster cuts arond 8 or 9 p.m. tonight, but news continues to trickle in, including some updates at linebacker.
Surprise guy was Casey Dunn. Jay said they were impressed at what he did at guard and center, so they’ve kept him for now.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 2, 2018At ILB, versatility won out. Vigil can play both spots and call the defense. Spaight can’t. That’s why Zach stayed.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 2, 2018The Redskins have released the full list of roster moves which reduces the team to 53 players. Among those released or waived not previously reported are QB Kevin Hogan, DL Phil Taylor, DL Ondre Pipkins and S Fish Smithson.
#Redskins official cuts. Add Holsey to NFI and McGee to PUP and they’re at 53.Ladler, Taylor, Hogan and Spaight among the later discovered ones. pic.twitter.com/rMzSYKWYDp
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 1, 2018LB Martrell Spaight was among the Redskins cuts today, he says via text.
— John Keim (@john_keim) September 1, 2018FWIW: LB Zach Vigil is on the roster, per source. Had a good summer.
— John Keim (@john_keim) September 1, 2018We've seen plenty of cuts already today, with several more to come, but UDFA defensive back Danny Johnson may have just confirmed he's staying with the Redskins.
Danny says he's in...as he should be. Kid proved he belonged every day from OTA's to Training Camp https://t.co/BVu2tT5Owu
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 1, 2018Yet another offensive lineman turns in his playbook.
Might already be out there for a while. But if not, here you go: Redskins released OL Demetrius Rhaney
— John Keim (@john_keim) September 1, 2018Confirming @john_keim on Demetrius Rhaney. He has been cut, per source. That makes 22 with he and Bibbs. ILB's still looming.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 1, 2018Big news in the Redskins backfield, as Washington is reportedly cutting Kapri Bibbs.
The #Redskins are cutting RB Kapri Bibbs, source said. They had a logjam there, even with the slew of injuries.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) September 1, 2018Bibbs out. Presumably Perine and Kelley in. Also think this means Marshall is in and headed to IR. https://t.co/FbX7c8tDgh
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 1, 2018Another cut in the secondary appears to have occurred, albeit unconfirmed at the moment.
I've seen it floating out there, but never saw it from a reporter. Assuming it's true. He's been on the outside looking in for a looooong time. https://t.co/RrhzguX6au
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 1, 2018The team has announced it will reveal all cuts once the 4 p.m. deadline arrives.
#Redskins roster cuts will be announced at 4 p.m. EST.We will be sharing a full breakdown.
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) September 1, 2018If you're a fan of preseason darling Cam Sims, good news:
The Redskins have cut WR Brian Quick per source.
— John Keim (@john_keim) September 1, 2018Per @john_keim, the #Redskins have cut WR Brian Quick. That likely means Cam Sims is on the roster. Here's my chat about those guys and more with Ike Hilliard for @1067theFan. https://t.co/y72cIwta7G
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 1, 2018The Redskins' tight end room shrinks again.
TE Garrett Hudson has been released, per source. #Redskins
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 1, 2018Another cut on the defensive side, this time on the line.
#Redskins are back to work after a small break. DL Jo Jo Wicker has been released, per source. @BenStandig first.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 1, 2018Redskins released DL Jo Jo Wicker, per source. https://t.co/Z3HURBXfgf
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) September 1, 2018The Redskins make a cut in the secondary.
Confirming @john_keim again...Prince Charles Iworah is being released by the #Redskins. They'll absolutely look at him for practice squad if he clears waivers. He's done some good things since arriving in early August.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 1, 2018The cuts along the offensive line continue.
Redskins have released OL T.J. Clemmings per source
— John Keim (@john_keim) September 1, 2018Can confirm @john_keim on Clemmings, too. #Redskins up to 14 reported cuts. We're tracking them here: https://t.co/tOCJ3cioSB

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 1, 2018Another duo of cuts to report, the release of Robertson taking some by surprise.
First big surprise - OLB Pete Robertson has been released by the #Redskins, per source.OT Isaiah Williams has also been released.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 1, 2018Two more cuts done, one on each side of the ball.
Can confirm that OT John Kling has been released, per source. @john_keim and @BenStandig first.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 1, 2018#Redskins have also cut OLB Vontae Diggs, per source. Incredible story, but too much ground to make up.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 1, 2018After a string of cuts to the offense, it's the defense's turn to trim a body.
Can confirm @john_keim's report on Cassanova McKinzy. He's a pass rusher with practice squad potential.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 1, 2018Redskins have released LB Cassanova McKinzy, per source... Practice squad possibility
— John Keim (@john_keim) September 1, 2018Biggest cut of the day so far. Some predicted Holtz would make the final roster.
#Redskins have released TE/FB JP Holtz, per source.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 1, 2018Two more cuts to the offense.
Redskins release TE Matt Flanagan, per source.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) September 1, 2018Redskins waived lineman Kendall Calhoun, per source.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) September 1, 2018Cut no. 3 in the books, and it's another wide receiver.
Redskins waived WR Dan Williams, per source.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) September 1, 2018Another UDFA gets cut, this one from the defense.
Source confirms that #Redskins have let go of MLB Jerod Fernandez. I belive @BenStandig was first. Definite practice squad candidate. His side feels good about it.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 1, 2018And so it begins...
Per Source - the #Redskins have released WR Shay Fields.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) September 1, 2018ICYMI: offensive lineman Tyler Catalina will miss the season after undergoing shoulder surgery, and thus will not be part of the final 53-man roster.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 31, 2018And, yes, out for the season. Six-month recovery. #Redskins https://t.co/wwFFNLduSc
— Kareem Copeland (@kareemcopeland) August 31, 2018As of now, the majority of cuts appear to be quite straight-forward, aside from a couple tight position battles such as running back, wide receiver and linebacker.
This is where I’m at, too. So many of them are obvious. https://t.co/2lEUgHdJzp
