The Tennessee Titans must finalize their roster by 6 p.m. EST today, reducing their squad from 90 players to 53. This roster cut day is critical for NFL teams as they navigate player waivers. Players on the physically unable to perform list and injured reserve do not count against the active roster limit. The Titans' standing as the fourth on the waiver priority list may give them an advantage in claiming players cut by other teams. The waiver period lasts until 1 p.m. EST tomorrow, with unclaimed players becoming free agents afterwards. The Titans will also fill their 16-player practice squad, with the possibility of a 17th player through the International Player Pathway program.
