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.

By DL do you mean IR? ... and by players, do you mean only 2?

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

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).
