NFL prepares for cutdown day as Pro Bowl gets canceled

The NFL is gearing up for cutdown day on Sunday, August 30, when each of the 32 teams must finalize their rosters to 53 players by 6 p.m. ET. This comes as part of an action-packed preseason weekend, featuring four games Thursday, ten on Friday, and two on Saturday. In a significant shift, the NFL announced the cancellation of the Pro Bowl, ending a tradition since 1938. The league will continue to honor Pro Bowl selections despite the game's discontinuation. Additionally, the NFL introduced new eligibility rules for rookies and a policy aimed at enhancing player safety concerning certain types of tackles.
