I don't see what the actual FINAL cut-down day is before the regular season on this list. Is it the end of this Saturday or Sunday or early next week? Thanks for anyone who has that info handy. Just want to keep a watch our for cuts across the league on that cutdown day.
I believe Saturday is the final cutdown date for teams to set their rosters.
