Every roster spot calls take
226–250 of 2,502
Reggie Virgil to make the roster
Fifth-round rookie Reggie Virgil hasn’t been able to move up the depth chart but is also likely to make the roster.
Luke McCaffrey to make the roster
Luke McCaffrey’s roster spot is in danger: ... McCaffrey is only likely to make the roster if Washington keeps seven wide receivers.
Charlie Jones to make the roster
he is listed as Cincinnati’s top kick and punt returner and will likely make the roster because of his special teams value
Carson Wentz to make the roster
Carson Wentz played only the second quarter last week and just eight snaps in this game, suggesting he should make the Vikings’ roster.
Emmanuel Henderson to be cut
Sixth-round rookie wide receiver Emmanuel Henderson Jr. remains eighth on the wide receiver depth chart, as he has throughout the preseason. That leaves his roster spot in question.
Eli Heidenreich to be cut
It is highly unlikely that seventh-round rookie Eli Heidenreich makes the roster, while 2025 third-round pick Kaleb Johnson also appears to be a likely cut.
Elijah Sarratt to make the roster
While he is likely to make the Ravens' roster given the investment Baltimore made in him, he isn’t as high on the depth chart.
Brashard Smith to be cut
It’s also possible Smith doesn’t make the roster if Kansas City keeps only three running backs.
Bo Melton to make the roster
The only Packers skill-position player who appeared in this game and is likely to make the roster is Bo Melton.
Kendre Miller to make the roster
Miller’s roster spot now appears safe
Tahj Brooks to make the roster
Bengals running back Tahj Brooks appears likely to make the roster as the team’s third running back unless Cincinnati adds someone from another roster.
Mitchell Tinsley to be cut
That could leave Tinsley as the odd man out at wide receiver.
Phil Mafah to make the roster
Mafah playing in this game makes it clear that he is behind both and could be in danger of missing the roster
Ameer Abdullah to make the roster
The fact that Abdullah didn’t play suggests Jacksonville will keep four running backs.
C.J. Daniels to make the roster
This means sixth-round rookie CJ Daniels will only make the roster if the Rams keep seven wide receivers.
K.J. Osborn to make the roster
K.J. Osborn has a shot to make the roster as Tennessee's sixth receiver.
Jalen Reagor to be cut
However, Tolbert was clearly ahead of Reagor in this game, putting Reagor’s roster spot in jeopardy.
Efton Chism III to make the roster
While Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III played in this game, both are still likely to make the roster.
Tom Kennedy to make the roster
Tom Kennedy is the next man up among the outside receivers, and appears to have secured a roster spot.
Jonathan Mingo to make the roster
Davis and Mingo weren’t roster locks entering training camp, so the fact that both sat out this week strongly suggests they have secured spots on the 53-man roster.
Kyle Williams to make the roster
While Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III played in this game, both are still likely to make the roster.
Brycen Tremayne to make the roster
This means Tremayne is the one backup receiver who is a lock to make the roster.
Devin Duvernay to make the roster
Duvernay appears locked into a roster spot, likely more because of his special teams value than his receiving ability.
Odell Beckham Jr. — “one of the likely six wide receivers kept”
In this game, Beckham was the X receiver, Slayton was at Z and Berrios was in the slot... Assuming New York keeps six wide receivers, these are the likely six.
Robert Tonyan to make the roster
The fact that Pittsburgh rested him suggests he will make the roster as its third tight end.
