I don't keep up with it as closely as I used to but according to USA Today:

"They will have to cut five players after their first preseason game by August 17, taking the roster down to 85. They must trim another five players after the second preseason by August 24 and then, following the third and final preseason contest, rosters must be cut down to 53 players by August 31."

Yeah, sorry, my bad - I just ran across a reference to that myself.  
They had eliminated the initial cut-down to 80 after the 3rd pre-season game a couple or 3 years ago because all of the teams wanted those bottom of the roster players available for the 4th preseason game.  I didn't realize they had re-considered things after going to 3 pre-season games.
