The Washington Commanders' preseason ended with a whimper after a disastrous performance against the Baltimore Ravens. Now, general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn will focus their attention on the most difficult part of the job.
Final cuts are now due. They typically come in waves, and the Commanders still have some difficult problems to solve. And it's also worth remembering that Washington's initial 53-man roster might not be set in stone.
Peters will be scouring the waiver wire for potential options. The Commanders could also look to make a trade or two in positions of need, but that seems less likely. Either way, the margin for error has long gone.
A fascinating few hours await, and there will be some surprises along the way. We'll keep you up to date with everything in this live tracker.

Notable Commanders roster cuts
Will Harris, S
This was notable enough to include, even though it happened after his dismal preseason outing against the Detroit Lions. Will Harris was a yard off the pace. Whatever athleticism remained in the veteran safety was sapped by a serious injury last season, and he just didn't look suited to Daronte Jones' scheme.
