Teams have started to cut down the number of players in TC.
What’s on the line in pre-season? For some players across the CFL, everything. It’s two weeks into training camp and by the end of Tuesday players will have had 14 days and at least one pre-season game to prove they belong on a Canadian Football League roster. With that, decision time arrives for coaches and general managers, because on Tuesday night at 11:59 p.m. ET teams must reduce their rosters to 65 players. The final cut down day is June 18, when teams must reduce their rosters to 46 active players by 10:00 p.m. ET. As teams trim down their rosters over the next 48 hours, we check in on the latest:
