The most brutal day for NFL rosters is upon us: cut-down day.

By 4:00pm ET, all 32 teams had to trim their rosters from 80 players down to 53. The Indianapolis Colts have since finished announcing their moves.

It's important to remember that these things are always fluid. The Colts will likely look to make moves from other teams' cuts as well as continue placing their own players on reserve lists.

Also of note, currently, the Colts' 22-year streak of having a rookie undrafted free agent on the opening-day roster is now over.
