Keep it here for all of the news about the Packers’ cuts to get down to 53. The Green Bay Packers  have to reduce their active roster by 37 players this weekend, cutting down from 90 to 53 by 4:00 PM Eastern on Saturday to meet the NFL’s deadline. General manager Brian Gutekunst is at the helm of this process for the first time, having served under Ted Thompson for years, and his approach to roster construction will be an intriguing storyline for Packers fans to watch.
Throughout Friday and Saturday, keep your browsers locked here as we bring you news from throughout the weekend.
First, here are a few quick notes about the Packers’ roster construction:

The Packers can place suspended running back Aaron Jones  on the reserve/suspended list at the deadline, which removes him from the 53-man roster. That means that the team only needs to release, trade, or otherwise free up 36 spots.
Players can be placed on injured reserve in order to help get down to 53 as well. In past years, players put on IR at or before the deadline were not eligible to return during the same season.
The Packers have no players on the active/Physically Unable to Perform list. This means that they cannot put any players on reserve/PUP at the deadline to free up roster spots.

Here we go.
Reported Cuts

They call it a "deadline," but what are the real-world repercussions if a team doesn't complete all of the necessary transactions by 4 p.m. Saturday?

Just checking to see if the rules have changed since I last heard or not. Thanks

This is a PURE random guess, but probably loss of draft pick and fine.

They have seemed to enjoy taking mid-round draft picks from teams breaking rules lately... that or in one or two cases, instead of outright taking them, they just move a draft pick down 10 to 16 spots for some reason.

I suppose someone could get hurt late Friday night or early Saturday which could prompt a change of mind but I doubt many of these soon to be cut players could do much in 1 or 2 more practice sessions to change anyone's mind. Cut them now and save tomorrows practice reps for the ones who matter.

Teams can put as many players on the IR as needed. They don;t have to designate which ones are eligible to be reinstated.

More detail on IR rules:
 

The NFL and the NFL Players Association agreed to a short-term IR rule change which took effect in 2012. The change allowed one player (per team) to be activated from the IR list, and has since been changed so each team can return up to two players during the season. Additionally, teams originally had to declare a player as return eligible when placed on IR. They no longer have to declare a person eligible to return when they first go on IR. Before the enactment of this rule, any player that was placed on the IR list was not eligible to play again for the same team in that season (regular season and postseason).

The deadline is for when teams have to report the info to the NFL. Normally the Packers (and a couple of other teams) don't report the info to the media until (hours) after the deadline.

It was very important one year, because the writers got P.O. ... I'm guessing they told their family they'd be come for dinner, and then the release announcement didn't start until after 9:30 ... and so the writers were pissed they waited around all day (and maybe didn't bring anything to eat) only to get to go home at (I'm guessing 10:30?) so they were pissed... because they then had to meet with each other about who's writing what and then go home and write it and didn't get get to go to sleep until morning of the next day. They were pretty sore about that.

Of course... I was freaking waiting to earn the last couple of releases that weren't yet announced vs twitter too... and I DON"T GET PAID! So boo hoo to them.

I'm a little surprised that Hawkins got the ax, since he was active for 15 games last year. But considering he only accrued all of 41 tackles in two seasons, the Packers must have found him dispensable.
