Every roster spot calls take
1–25 of 2,427
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.
Patrick Herbert to make the roster
with Patrick Herbert set to be elevated and active from the practice squad
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.
Mike Brown to make the roster
After Sunday's game in Jacksonville, Pharms and Brown will revert back to the practice squad.
- PendingJohn GreenRoster Spot Calls2026 season
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.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 26, 2026 - PendingJohn GreenRoster Spot Calls2026 season
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.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 26, 2026 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
David Njoku 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)
- PendingJared FeinbergRoster Spot Calls2026 season
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.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 21, 2026 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.
