good catch

updated OP
Injuries could buy some players extra time but the cuts should be pretty consistent for the next three weeks. It’s only 90 to 85 and then 85 to 80 until the big cut down day to 53.
Likely but the cut to 53 is really 69 as they have 16 PS slots to fill

So its more like 90 > 85 > 80 > 69 (Roster + PS)
The practice squad will help for sure. I remember the XFL had 30 plus players in the league because of practice squads in 2020.

With Covid 2020, XFL may get more.

It's going to be players dropping alot (and picked up) so keep posting if you see any... Thx

XFL players in 2020 had an issue because of COVID restrictions, less game film and no preseason games. Camp rosters were also trimmed from 90 to 80 before training camp.

There was talk of 80 but looks like they stayed with 90.

The XFL guys though did have a leg up on UDFA as they had recent film. And once they got signed the hassle of replacing players due to covid restrictions may have helped. Did the lack of preseason help or hurt ... who knows but overall its roughly equivalent.

No preseason games definitely hurts. Because returning players and draft picks/undrafted free agents get more of a priority to begin with. They cut down to 80 quicker too. XFL had 37 players on NFL rosters before the 2020 season ended. 29 now still on rosters
