The Patriots have their initial 53-man roster.

The team announced a series of moves Tuesday afternoon to finalize their cutdowns from 90 to 53 ahead of the 4 p.m. deadline:

RESERVE LISTS

The Patriots placed WR Kendrick Bourne, G Cole Strange and LB Sione Takitaki on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform List, DT Christian Barmore on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury List (designated to return) and OL Calvin Anderson, S Marte Mapu (designated to return) and DT Armon Watts on Injured Reserve.

RELEASED PLAYERS

The Patriots released the following players: S Joshuah Bledsoe, T Kellen Diesch, OL Liam Fornadel, LB Joe Giles-Harris, RB Kevin Harris, RB Terrell Jennings, LB Kobe Jones, WR Matt Landers, G Atonio Mafi, DE Jotham Russell, K Chad Ryland, S A.J. Thomas, CB Shaun Wade, WR David Wallis, TE Mitchell Wilcox and QB Bailey Zappe.

That means the initial 53-man roster looks like this:

Quarterback (3)
Jacoby Brissett, Drake Maye, Joe Milton III

Running Back (3)
Antonio Gibson, JaMycal Hasty, Rhamondre Stevenson

Wide Receiver (7)
Javon Baker, Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas, K.J. Osborn, Ja'Lynn Polk, Jalen Reagor, Tyquan Thornton

Tight End (3)
Jaheim Bell, Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper

Offensive Line (9)
David Andrews, Michael Jordan, Nick Leverett, Vederian Lowe, Chukwuma Okorafor, Mike Onwenu, Layden Robinson, Sidy Sow, Caedan Wallace

Defensive Line (6)
Daniel Ekuale, Davon Godchaux, Trysten Hill, Jeremiah Pharms Jr., Keion White, Deatrich Wise Jr.

Linebacker (7)
Ja'Whaun Bentley, Christian Elliss, Anfernee Jennings, Raekwon McMillan, Jahlani Tavai, Josh Uche, Oshane Ximines

Cornerback (7)
Alex Austin, Isaiah Bolden, Marcellas Dial Jr., Christian Gonzalez, Jonathan Jones, Marcus Jones, Marco Wilson

Safety (5)
Kyle Dugger, Jaylinn Hawkins, Jabrill Peppers, Dell Pettus, Brenden Schooler

Kicker (1)
Joey Slye

Punter (1)
Bryce Baringer

Long Snapper (1)
Joe Cardona

Of course, this won't necessarily be the Patriots' 53-man roster come opening day on Sept. 8 in Cincinnati. Coach Jerod Mayo said on The Greg Hill Show on Monday that the team would be active on the waiver wire, especially when it comes to finding offensive line help.
