Roster Spot Calls

Christian Benford to make the roster

In all likelihood, however, they'll need to add a cornerback to the 53-man roster this week. Whether it's an external addition or a current practice squad member, Buffalo may have to move Benford to IR in order to create a spot.

Kani Walker to make the roster

From how it looked during the preseason, Walker seems like the next man up.

DeVonta Smith to make the roster

Former UDFA DeVonta Smith was solid in the preseason, so he could be elevated, too.

Jake Haener to make the roster

Winston ... is currently the only quarterback on the active roster, but Jake Haener will most likely be elevated from the practice squad for Week 3.

Jeremiah Pharms Jr. to make the roster

After Sunday's game in Jacksonville, Pharms and Brown will revert back to the practice squad.

T.J. Sanders to make the roster

So, an upcoming stay on injured reserve with another fellow 2025 draftee, defensive back Jordan Hancock, appears likely for Sanders in the near future... For that reason, it seems like a perfect swap to put Sanders on injured reserve instead.

Phidarian Mathis to make the roster

It'll give the team at least four more weeks to figure things out with their former second-rounder from last year's draft class, while allowing Mathis a chance to contribute right away in the coming weeks.

Adam Prentice to make the roster

Look for Prentice to join the active squad early next week

Jonah Coleman to make the roster

But once Coleman heals up and his four weeks have passed, the Broncos will have to waive someone to make room for him on the 53-man roster. And they're going to need him.

Zach Ertz to make the roster

the Eagles are likely to use one of the practice squad elevations for him leading up to Monday's game

Jerome Ford to make the roster

1. Elevate Jerome Ford off the practice squad ... Ford has been with the team for just over a week, but it's possible he gets some work already on Sunday.

Zemaiah Vaughn to make the roster

The most likely candidate to get bumped is cornerback Zemaiah Vaughn ... likely would slide through waivers and make it back to the practice squad

Nick Samac to make the roster

Another possible option could be backup center Nick Samac, who has also been inactive for back-to-back weeks

Kyle Van Noy to make the roster

This Sunday will likely mark Kyle Van Noy's third and final practice squad elevation. League rules allow players three elevations before they need to be officially moved to the 53-man roster, meaning Van Noy will be booting someone off the roster in the coming days.

Charlie Kolar to make the roster

The Chargers have not yet placed Kolar and Njoku on injured reserve but when they do, there will be two additional roster spots available

Tanner Hudson to make the roster

The Bengals likely will activate pass-catching tight end Tanner Hudson from the practice squad to fill the open roster spot.

Kyle Van Noy to make the roster

Promoting Van Noy to the 53-man roster saves Minnesota from calling him up one game at a time and gives the Vikings a more reliable floor... signing him to the 53-man roster ASAP will only help the Purple and Gold's defensive outlook in the long run.

Andre Jones Jr. to make the roster

nobody can blame Jones for leaving for the Dolphins, where he'll have a spot on the 53-man roster and a chance for a role that he doesn't have in Buffalo

Kelvin Banks Jr. to make the roster

there are a trio of tackles on the Saints practice squad that could be moved up should Banks be placed on injured reserve (which we are expecting to happen)

Cody White to make the roster

White spent time with Kubiak in Seattle last season, which means the transition could be smooth sailing when he is officially signed to the active roster this week.

Tyler Loop to make the roster

This week, with limited practice time and a long flight and Jake Moody no longer on the practice squad means nothing will happen, but if you think the kicker issue is resolved you much only be watching this kid kick in a dome.

Bryan Thomas to make the roster

The Jaguars are also set to have undrafted defensive end Bryan Thomas Jr. active for the first time after he was a healthy scratch a week ago.
