With the preseason wrapped up, the Jacksonville Jaguars have until Saturday at 4:00 p.m. EST to cut their roster from 75 players down to 53. The overall cut down shouldn't be that difficult this season, but it will be the first time in a long time we can expect a few surprise cuts and guys who have been staples under the new regime, like Tyson Alualu and Ryan Davis, may not even make the final roster.
If you see a cut, post it in the comments, but please try to make sure it's from a legitimate source. When we have the full list of cuts we'll make a new post to discuss the real final 53-man roster.

10:06 AM: Braedon Bowman being cut is kind of surprising, but he didn't get many reps in preseason. Will likely clear waivers and be a practice squad guy.

4:23 PM: Ryan Davis confirms he was released. Best served as a linebacker in a 3-4 defense, IMO.
I got love for Duval, but my time here is done, catch ya later ✊

3:01 PM: First report of a cut comes out with Rashod Hill. He's someone I considered putting on the final 53-man roster, but I wouldn't be shocked if he ended up on the Jaguars practice squad if he goes unclaimed.
The Jacksonville Jaguars just released rookie OT Rashod Hill (Southern Miss). Had a very good preseason & has a chance to get claimed.
