Mike Vrabel and the Patriots have to cut their roster down to 53 players by 4 p.m. on Tuesday. The post Patriots roster cuts live tracker: Who will make the final 53-man roster in New England? appeared first on Boston.

That’s why the Patriots could make some surprise cuts on Tuesday during the NFL’s cut-down day. Every team will trim its roster from 90 to 53 players. Last year, the Patriots were busy on the waiver wire, claiming four players.

The NFL’s roster cutdown deadline is nearly here, and the Patriots have some work to do to reach the 53-player limit by Tuesday at 4 p.m. The Patriots got a jump on things by cutting 14 players Friday, none of which came as much of a surprise. New England will have to make at least 23 transactions to reach 53 players.
