Here's how the roster stands: 

The latest roster file was published on November 9th, 2007.

Rosters are 97% inclusive, which means each team is missing 2 players on average.  Most of these players have not played an NFL down this season and are fairly deep in the depth chart.

The reason for this has to due with accuracy as you get into the Frachise mode.  I was finding that too many players on IR that I had dumped into free agency were being immediately signed by CPU-controlled teams.  To curb that, I've changed my methods from last year.  Here's how rosters will be managed:

Bigger-name or team-staple players on IR will be kept on the team whenever possible.  Promotions from the practice squad and small-time trades (i.e. #2 punters, kickers, 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th stringers) will be ignored unless they have specific impact.  Once you’re in a franchise, you can place players on IR and easily pick up roster bodies.  This is who gets cut first to keep room for the big names:

5^th T/G, or 3^rd C

3^rd FB

5^th TE

7^th WR

7^th DB

5^th DT

6^th OLB

6^th DE

4^th FS/SS

4^th QB

RB's will be based on potential production
