Dallas Cowboys
Biggest move: With the uncertain status of Micah Parsons for the opener, James Houston (one sack, three hurries and two tackles for loss in 2024) was likely one of the beneficiaries, as Dallas chose to carry six pass rushers on the 53-man roster. Houston has been disruptive in practices and during the games, but can he make it to Week 1 still on the active roster and see playing time? The Cowboys likely will bring back Hakeem Adeniji as their swing tackle and cornerback C.J. Goodwin to the roster as soon as Wednesday, when they can place running back Phil Mafah (shoulder) and cornerback Caelen Carson (knee) on injured reserve/designated to return. — Todd Archer

New York Giants
Biggest move: The Giants cut Tommy DeVito. It was expected and really became a lock when they signed Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston and also drafted Jaxson Dart. DeVito was the fourth quarterback all spring and summer, and the Giants weren’t going to keep four quarterbacks on the active roster. Maybe DeVito lands on the practice squad, but even that seems like a long shot. However, he will have other options. Ihmir Smith-Marette not getting an opportunity as the returner was significantly more surprising than the DeVito move. Smith-Marsette returned a kickoff for a touchdown — and a punt, as well, even though it was called back because of a penalty — while averaging almost 35 yards per kickoff return in 2024. One would’ve thought that earned him another chance to be the returner. But the Giants instead chose Gunner Olszewski over Smith-Marsette to be their returner to start the season. – Jordan Raanan

Philadelphia Eagles
Biggest move: The additions of tackle Fred Johnson and quarterback Sam Howell bolster depth at a couple of key areas. No. 2 QB Tanner McKee has earned the trust of the organization, but he suffered a finger injury on his throwing hand late in training camp. Rookie Kyle McCord isn’t ready for NFL action quite yet, so the Eagles turned to Howell, who has 18 career starts under his belt. Johnson spent the past two seasons in Philadelphia before signing with the Jaguars earlier this offseason. With no one emerging at camp this summer, he can step right into the swing tackle role on game day. — Tim McManus

Washington Commanders
Biggest move: Washington’s biggest roster move occurred last week when it traded running back Brian Robinson Jr. to San Francisco. But the Commanders’ most significant move Tuesday was keeping right guard Sam Cosmi on the physically unable to perform list. That means he’ll be sidelined for at least the first four weeks of the season as he continues rehabbing from a torn right ACL suffered in the NFC divisional round in January. Nick Allegretti has been working in his place. The Commanders have been optimistic about Cosmi’s recovery, but it’s an injury that often has a healing timeline of nine to 12 months. — John Keim

Chicago Bears
Biggest move: Undrafted free agent wide receiver Jahdae Walker made the Bears’ initial 53-man roster after a strong preseason when he tied for the team lead with two touchdowns, including a walk-off score at Kansas City. His play on special teams earned him the sixth wide receiver spot. Elsewhere on offense, former third-round pick Call amegadjie was among the 10 offensive linemen the Bears kept on the 53 despite his struggles to climb the depth chart. While Amegadjie spent most of his time as the third-string left tackle after returning from a leg injury, general manager Ryan Poles said the Bears have begun experimenting with him at guard. – Courtney Cronin

Detroit Lions
Biggest move: Coach Dan Campbell certainly feels good about his roster entering the season, calling it his best from top to bottom since he arrived in 2021. But there were a few surprising transactions. After selecting defensive end Ahmed hassani in the sixth round for help on the edge, the first Egyptian to be drafted into the NFL was waived with an injury settlement after suffering a pectoral injury. Detroit also released fan favorite And skipperwho was expected to contribute on the offensive line. The Lions still have three roster spots remaining, which means they could be up to something big. — Eric Woodyard

Green Bay Packers
Biggest move: Someone who had never played his position in the NFL until a few months ago made the team, while a former first-round draft pick and a three-time Super Bowl champ did not. That would be Bo Meltona wideout-turned-cornerback, who made it, while linebacker Isaiah Simmons (No. 8 pick in 2020 ) and wide receiver/kick returner Mecole Hardman (Super Bowl winner with the Chiefs) did not. Melton competed in 22 games as a wideout over the past two seasons, and he didn’t move to cornerback until the June minicamp. If that was a surprise, then perhaps an undrafted rookie qualifying for the 53 shouldn’t be: Defensive tackle Nazir Stackhouse made it 21 straight seasons for the Packers with at least one undrafted free agent on the Week 1 roster, assuming he remains on it for the opener. — Rob Demovsky

Minnesota Vikings
Biggest move: The Vikings’ most notable decision to date is shaking up the depth at quarterback behind new starter J.J. McCarthy. They traded away presumptive No. 2 Sam Howellreplaced him with free agent Carson Wentzreleased veteran Brett Rypien and kept undrafted rookie Max brosmer as part of their 53-man roster. It is sometimes said that debate over a backup quarterback is irrelevant, because if a starter is injured, then a team’s chances to win will decrease no matter who takes over. In the Vikings’ case, however, a backup would be playing for a team that owners Zygi and Mark Wilf have committed more than $350 million in cash to put on the field. It’s critical that a level of performance be maintained no matter who is behind center. Also, the makeup of a QB room with an inexperienced starter is important. Can Wentz provide the kind of veteran presence that McCarthy would need? — Kevin Seifert

Atlanta Falcons
Biggest move: The Falcons placed starting right tackle Kaleb McGary on injured reserve Tuesday, which was not a surprise. But they did so without designating him to return, which means McGary will be out for the entire season due to a leg injury sustained last week in practice. McGary has been the team’s starter at the position since he was a first-round pick in 2019. He would have had an increased role in 2025 covering the blindside of left-handed quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Meanwhile, Storm NortonMcGary’s backup, is out six to eight weeks following ankle surgery. The Falcons acquired tackle Michael Jerrell from the Seahawks in a trade Tuesday. – Marc Raimondi

Carolina Panthers
Biggest move: Releasing 2021 Pro Bowl wideout Hunter Renfrow in his attempt at a comeback from ulcerative colitis will get the biggest headlines, particularly since the Panthers kept seven wide receivers. But the most significant move is keeping four tight ends in Ja’tavion Sanders, Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans and James Mitchell. It shows the team isn’t sure Tremble will be 100 percent recovered from back surgery after missing most of camp. Look for this number to change once the dust settles. — David Newton

New Orleans Saints
Biggest move: The Saints released veteran running backs Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Cam Akerscementing Kendre Miller‘s status as Alvin’s chamber‘s backup. Miller, a 2023 third-round pick, had a rough beginning to his career, playing in only 14 games across his first two campaigns. Coach Kellen Moore said everyone, including Miller, had a blank slate in the new coaching regime, and he showed that by having a productive training camp. Moore recently praised Miller for his “steady offseason.” The new running back room consists of Kamara, Miller, rookie Devin Neal and the versatile LAY JONES JR. — Katherine Terrell

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Biggest move: The Bucs cut Kyle Trasktheir second-string quarterback for the past two years and a former second-round draft pick who also was the last remaining member of Tampa Bay’s 2021 post-Super Bowl draft class. Back then, he was anointed as the potential future of the Bucs; and even two years ago, he competed with Baker Mayfield for the starting job. But when Mayfield missed two practices with a hand injury in early August, it became clear Tampa Bay would not be able to win games with Trask. The team brought in Teddy Bridgewater for the very next practice after a two-day break. Bridgewater was able to throw two touchdowns in that second preseason game to outperform Trask. — Jenna Laine

Arizona Cardinals
Biggest move: After an impressive camp despite missing time with a leg injury, wide receiver SIME Filter was one of the most surprising cuts by the Cardinals. He was consistent during training camp and made plays during preseason games. Veteran running back DeeJay Dallaswho was a key component on Arizona’s special teams last season, was cut after an up-and-down preseason. However, the most meaningful move might have been Arizona keeping first-round pick Walter Nolen III on the physically unable to perform list. It means Nolen can’t return to practice for the first four weeks of the season, and once his 21-day window opens after Week 4, he could miss up to three more games. — Josh Weinfuss

Los Angeles Rams
Biggest move: The Rams cut inside linebacker Chris Paul Jr., a 2025 fifth-round pick. He missed some time with a calf injury during training camp but played in all three preseason games, including wearing the green dot during the opener as the one relaying the plays from the coach to the defense. The Rams kept four inside linebackers on their initial 53-man roster: Nate Landman, Omar Speights, Troy Reeder and undrafted rookie Shaun Dolac. – Sarah Barshop

San Francisco 49ers
Biggest move: The biggest move for the Niners was keeping wide receiver Jauan Jennings on the 53-man roster. Jennings has yet to return from a calf injury amid a lingering contract issue. The Niners want him back on the field sooner rather than later, but a lucrative extension seems unlikely. The 49ers are extremely thin at the position and need Jennings ready for Week 1 for the offense to be anywhere close to full strength. This is a situation to watch over the next week or longer. — Nick Wagoner

Seattle Seahawks
Biggest move: The Seahawks released Marquez Valdes-Scantling after they couldn’t find someone to trade for the veteran wideout and the $2.5 million that remains on his one-year contract. From a financial standpoint, that had to be a tough move to make since he is guaranteed another $1.5 million on top of his $1.5 million signing bonus. But from a competitive standpoint, it was their only choice absent a trade. Seattle signed Valdes-Scantling to be its WR3 and to help replace some of the speed the offense lost in the DK Metcalf trade. But because Valdes-Scantling doesn’t play on special teams, he couldn’t be any lower than that on the depth chart if he wanted to make the team. Rookie fifth-round pick Tory Horton clearly outperformed Valdes-Scantling over the summer, as did Jake Bobo, Young tree and Cody Whiteall of whom made the 53 behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper coup. — Brady Henderson

Buffalo Bills
The Bills placed rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairstona first-round pick, on injured reserve with a designation to return, meaning he will miss at least the first four games. Fellow corner Tre’Davious Whitehowever, is on the 53-man roster, a sign the lower leg injury he sustained Thursday is not significanteven if his Week 1 availability is unknown. Hairston suffered a right lateral collateral ligament sprain at the end of July and had yet to practice.

Miami Dolphins
It was a surprise to see cornerback Mike Hilton‘s release, considering his prior starting experience. But the Dolphins have been impressed by rookie Jason Marshall Jr.’s progress at the nickel position, and he could very well be the team’s Week 1 starter.

New England Patriots
Biggest move: When the Patriots selected LSU outside linebacker Bradyn Swinson with the 146th pick of the 2025 draft, they expressed surprise he was still available. Pass rushers who had production like that of Swinson (8.5 sacks) usually aren’t around in the fifth round. So, it also was a surprise to see Swinson among the team’s cuts. While undrafted OLB Elijah Ponder (Cal Poly) clearly had carved out a niche on defense and special teams, the Patriots seemed to be in position to keep both developmental outside linebackers. The possibility of Swinson returning on the practice squad bears watching if he clears waivers. — Mike Reiss

New York Jets
Biggest move: The trade for former Vikings defensive tackle Harrison Phillips should help the run defense. He is a first- and second-down run plugger who likely will start alongside Quinnen Williams in New York’s base front. This was a good get for first-year GM Darren Mougey, who surmised that his affordable additions from the offseason in Byron Cowart and Jay tuffle weren’t enough. Mougey didn’t address the need at wide receiver, hoping rookie Arian Smith could provide energy to a group that, save for Garrett Wilsonis lackluster. The decision to waive wideout Malachi Corleya 2024 third-round selection, had been building for months, so it was hardly a surprise. Incumbent wide receiver and return specialist Xavier Gipson got the nod over impressive rookie Jamaal Pritchett. — Rich cemini

Baltimore Ravens
Biggest move: The Ravens did not place tight end Isaiah Likely on injured reserve. That means Lamar Jackson has a shot at throwing to one of his favorite targets in the first month of the season, which represents the toughest part of the Ravens’ schedule (at Buffalo, home against Cleveland and Detroit, and at Kansas City). Likely suffered a foot fracture at the end of July, and he has yet to return to the practice field. If he had been placed on IR, he would have missed at least the first four games. Now, Likely could be available as soon as the Sept. 7 season opener. Last season, Likely recorded career highs in receptions (42), receiving yards (477) and touchdown catches (six). — Jamison Hensley

Cincinnati Bengals
Biggest move: Cincinnati opted to keep just eight offensive linemen in its initial cuts. Depth has been a major issue, especially at right guard. Players who scraped out spots on the back end of the 53-man roster, such as safety PJ Jules and rookie defensive tackle Howard Cross IIIcould be at risk as the team seeks out depth on the waiver wire following its initial cuts. Coach Zac Taylor has not named a starting right guard but believes that player is on the roster. Don’t be surprised if Cincinnati looks to add at that position — and potentially at safety too. – Bent Baby

Cleveland Browns
Biggest move: The Browns on Monday traded quarterback Kenny Pickett to the Raiders for a 2026 fifth-round pick. Pickett was the first signal-caller whom Cleveland acquired in the offseason as it reshaped the position room, but a hamstring injury put him out of consideration for QB1. The move clears the path for the Browns to evaluate rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders at some point this season. – Daniel oyefusi

Pittsburgh Steelers
Biggest move: Perhaps the most surprising move ahead of the cut-down day deadline was the Steelers’ decision to keep punter Corliss Waitman over veteran Cameron Johnston. The Steelers signed Johnston to a three-year, $9 million contract in free agency a year ago, but Johnston sustained a season-ending injury in Week 1. Waitman took over from there, and the two battled throughout training camp before Waitman beat out Johnston. The other significant move is one the Steelers didn’t make — or haven’t made yet. The team released veteran Robert Woods and didn’t add another wide receiver by the roster-reduction deadline, but they could still land one on the waiver wire or through a trade. — Brooke Pryor

Houston Texans
Biggest move: Running back Joe Mixon went on the non-football injury list with an ankle injury. Mixon was a Pro Bowler in 2024 for the Texans. Now, Houston is without its star back — and there’s no clear indication how long he will be out. Mixon’s camp and the Texans have been very quiet about his health and a potential return. -DJ beloved

Indianapolis Colts
Biggest move: The Colts released 2023 second-round pick — and Indianapolis native — Brent in a bit of a surprise move. The cornerback had dealt with injuries the past two seasons, seeing action in only 11 of a possible 34 games. He missed a significant chunk of practice time in camp this month because of a hamstring injury and also was not considered a scheme fit in coordinator Lou Anarumo’s system. The Colts made two cornerback acquisitions in the past week, signing free agent Xavien Howard and trading for Minnesota’s Mekhi Blackmon. — Stephen Holder

Jacksonville Jaguars
Biggest move: The Jaguars had trouble stopping the run in 2024, allowing 132.6 yards per game, which ranked 25th in the league. They needed major improvements up front, so they reworked the defensive line. Jacksonville cut tackles Jordan Jefferson and Tyler Lacy — fourth-round picks in 2024 and 2023, respectively — in favor of undrafted free agents Danny Striggow (Minnesota) and BJ Green II (Colorado). The Jaguars kept 11 D-linemen, including a pair of 10-year vets in Arik Armstead and Austin Johnson as well as Khalen saunderswhom they acquired via trade last week. – Michael Dirocco

Tennessee Titans
Biggest move: The biggest news was the release of wideout Xavier Restrepo. Despite being the Miami Hurricanes‘ all-time leading receiver in multiple categories and Cam Ward‘s top target, Restrepo signed with the Titans as an undrafted free agent. Restrepo started off well in OTAs and minicamp, but that early success wasn’t duplicated at training camp. The wide receiver group didn’t have space for Restrepo, who worked mostly in the slot but played only 42 snaps across three preseason games. — Turron Davenport

Denver Broncos
Biggest move: Perhaps it wasn’t the biggest surprise when the Broncos waived cornerback Damarri Mathissince they used a first-round pick on cornerback Jahdae Barron in April. Mathis was a 2022 fourth-round pick by Denver who had started 18 games over the past three seasons. In the end, Barron’s arrival and the starter-quality play of Kris Abrams-Draine — a fifth-round pick in 2024 — throughout training camp and the preseason cost Mathis his roster spot. Running back Audric Estime (fifth round, 2024) and safety Delarrin Turner-Yell (fifth round, 2022) are two other Denver draft picks who got caught in the squeeze of the team’s improvement. — Jeff Legwold

Kansas City Chiefs
Biggest move: The Chiefs, in a rare scenario, kept eight wide receivers in Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, Nikko Remigio, Jason Brownlee and rookie Jalen Royals. One could argue the Chiefs did so in case Rice agrees to a shortened suspension with the league, one that is different from what the NFL initially wanted, which was at least an eight-game punishment. As of now, Rice is expected to have his disciplinary hearing with the NFL on Sept. 30 in New York. If nothing changes before then, quarterback Patrick Mahomes could have six wideouts in uniform in Week 1 against the visiting Chargers. Remigio would be the top returner, and Thornton would be on the bench in case of an injury. — Nate Taylor

Las Vegas Raiders
Biggest move: The Raiders addressed their need for a backup quarterback on the eve of final cuts by acquiring Kenny Pickett from the Browns. The 2022 first-round pick competed for the starter job in Cleveland before it was awarded to Joe Flacco. Now, Pickett joins Las Vegas after backup Aidan O’Connell fractured his wrist in the preseason finale. Clearly, Geno Smith is the starting quarterback. However, Pickett fills the need of an experienced quarterback whom Carroll wanted to play behind Smith. Pickett has competed in 30 games across his career, making 25 starts. — Ryan McFadden

Los Angeles Chargers
Biggest move: Los Angeles activated running back Najee Harris off the non-football injury list to the active roster, a sign he could be ready to play in the season opener. Harris hasn’t practiced with the team since he signed with the Chargers in March. An eye injury caused by a fireworks mishap landed him on the NFI ahead of training camp. But GM Joe Hortiz said during the Chargers’ final preseason game that Harris was “on track” for Week 1, and this move supports that. Harris is crucial to turning around a Chargers rushing offense that was below average last season. — Kris Rhim
