Here is the New Orleans Saints' initial 53-man roster

.
.

Previously there were 91 players in the locker room. Now there are just 53. And while more changes are on the way as the team builds its practice squad and fine-tunes the lineup, here is a first look at the New Orleans Saints' initial 53-man roster after Tuesday's roster cuts deadline.

It'll look a little different when they kick off the regular season with the Carolina Panthers in two weeks but for the most part we know who will be starting where.

Take a look at who made the cut and who was let go, position-by-position, and take a guess at which areas still need work. The dust hasn't settled just yet:
