53 does not include practice squad. 46 + 7 = 53

53 = Active roster
46 = Can dress out and play
8-9 = Practice squad (Scout team) (9th allowed only if he lives outside of the US)

So we end up with 53+ 8 on the practice squad for a total of 61, the cut off date for the 75 was Tuesday so we are there now... Expect 14 players to be gone by Sat @6pm E. This is why all of preseason ends tonight.

Technically 22 players have to be cut then if they pass through waivers then you can sign 8 to the PS.

Good call. I hadn't read up on that little bit of the process.
