The time is finally upon us.
After four weeks of the preseason football, NFL clubs are preparing to kick it off for real this weekend; however, prior to the start of Week 1, teams were required to cut their rosters down to 53 players.
Let's take a look at who survived cut day and some interesting storylines from around the division.
DENVER BRONCOS
Cuts to 53:CB Tony Carter, DT Sione Fua, LB Zaire Anderson, LB Lamin Barrow, RB Kapri Bibbs, Isaiah Burse, C Dillon Day, S Josh Furman, G Ben Garland, TE Marcel Jensen, LB Steven Johnson, TE Dominique Jones, WR Corbin Louks, DT Chuka Ndulue, CB Taurean Nixon, OLB Gerald Rivers, OT Kyle Roberts, OT Charles Sweeton, WR Jordan Taylor, DE Josh Watson, C Gino Gradkowski
While running back Montee Ball survived the team's initial cut to 53 players, his tenure in Denver didn't last much longer as the team parted ways with him Sunday.
After appearing in all 16 games during his rookie season, Ball only appeared in five in 2014, rushing for just 172 yards and 1 touchdown on 55 carries.
The Broncos open the 2015 season at home against the Baltimore Ravens, who the Raiders take on the following week at O.co Coliseum.
