All NFL teams film their practices, scrimmages, and preseason games. In addition, players are scored on test that the coaches create, grade, and record which become a part of each players file. Also, players are scored on attitude, personal discipline, and weight room record . All injuries that they can find out about are included in the players file as well. The Coaches and their staff evaluate this mountain of information on the bottom tier of players to determine who stays or gets cut . The lack of sleep they get this time of the year must be difficult to deal with, but they will chose the best for the 53 man roster .

Those that say keep this one or cut that one only offer a layman's opinion. It's decisions that are, thankfully, best made by carrier professionals .
