Every roster spot calls take
1–25 of 2,501
Sean Fresch Jr. — “promoted again to the 53-man roster before Week 11”
It wouldn't be a surprise if they promoted him again to the 53-man roster before Week 11's home game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Khalid Kareem to be cut
Hobbs is almost definitely coming back this week, and the name to cut is Kareem... The first name to get cut when Hobbs gets back is Kareem.
Brandin Cooks to be cut
The 49ers should release Brandin Cooks and Khalil Kareem... When West is healthy, Cooks should get cut.
Sebastian Valdez to make the roster
They could cut Sebastian Valdez, who would likely be inactive when West comes back. Valdez will likely make it back to the practice squad.
Max Hurleman to land on the practice squad
So, look out for a new addition to Pittsburgh's wide receiver core. And after not adding anyone at the trade deadline, they may be looking at their practice squad for a name they have a lot of excitement about.
Max Brosmer to be cut
My gut feeling tells me Max Brosmer will likely be released and re-signed to the practice squad. It's hard to see Minnesota carrying four QBs on the active roster.
Sean Fresch Jr. to be cut
defensive back Sean Fresch Jr., who was waived from the active roster, with designs of re-signing to the practice squad. That could happen as early as Wednesday, assuming Fresch clears waivers.
Jordan Turner to be cut
One of these linebackers could be waived to make room for Henley on the 53-man roster. My guess is that it'll be Turner, but it's a coin flip between him and Reid.
Odell Beckham Jr. to land on the practice squad
The Vikings will re-sign Beckham to the practice squad, according to multiple reports.
Caleb Banks — “active again next week”
If that injury ends up being serious, it's possible Banks will be active again next week.
Justin Tucker to land on the practice squad
His miscues led the Chiefs to add Justin Tucker to their practice squad last month. It may be a matter of time before the team elevates Tucker to the active roster and ends the Butker era.
Anthony Lucas to land on the practice squad
The Lions will utilize undrafted defensive end Anthony Lucas as a practice squad elevation in place of Wonnum.
Jalin Hyatt to land on the practice squad
He has two more practice squad elevations to go, and with receiver Charlie Jones ailing due to a hand injury, I could certainly see Hyatt getting the call-up from the practice squad.
Xavier Truss to make the roster
that's where Blaske and Truss could find a way toward the 53-man roster.
Austin Blaske to make the roster
that's where Blaske and Truss could find a way toward the 53-man roster.
Carlos Washington to land on the practice squad
Carlos Washington Jr. very well might end up being elevated from the practice squad for the Detroit game
Demond Claiborne to be cut
After the Purple and Gold signed him to the 53-man roster, another player needs to be released, with one name standing out above the rest in Week 9: rookie RB Demond Claiborne.
Kedon Slovis to land on the practice squad
since he was signed off another team's practice squad, that means he has a guaranteed spot on the Ravens' 53-man roster this week
Rayshaun Benny to land on the practice squad
A lot of smart evaluators I know really liked late-round pick Rayshaun Benny - ... get him off the practice squad and on the field.
Jake Moody to land on the practice squad
Jake Moody is currently on the Baltimore practice squad. He'd presumably be signed to the 53-man roster if/when Loop ends up on injured reserve.
Kendrick Bourne — “placed on injured reserve”
The Cardinals are likely to officially place Bourne on injured reserve soon, though all indications suggest he's done for the 2026 season.
Jadarian Price — “activated at the 4:00 eastern deadline”
whether the Seahawks activate Jadarion Price, at the 04:00 eastern deadline today. My sense is, that's their plan right now.
Zane Gonzalez — “signed to the active roster after one more elevation”
After one more elevation, the Dolphins then will have to sign him to the active roster and find themselves a new kicker.
Johnathan Edwards to land on the practice squad
Maybe Jonathan Edwards gets called up tomorrow from the practice squad.
Arron Mosby — “next time on the field will be as a member of the 53”
Arron Mosby played 19 snaps on special teams in what will be his last roster elevation of the season. The next time the Packers want him on the field, it will be as a member of the 53.
