Every roster spot calls take
26–50 of 2,501
Amari McNeill to make the roster
his lack of NFL experience makes it unlikely that we will see McNeill suit up in green and white anytime soon
Dominic Zvada — “running out of chances, but Harbaugh is not ready to make a change yet”
Zvada is still in a precarious position. All the goodwill he stored by nailing his first nine field goal attempts has nearly evaporated. Harbaugh is not ready to make a change yet, though
Devin Singletary — “won't be seeing the inactive list again this year so long as he's healthy”
It's probably safe to say that the man nicknamed "Motor" won't be seeing the inactive list again this year so long as he's healthy.
Stephen Carlson to land on the practice squad
They do have Stephen Carlson available on the practice squad to move up and assist Colston Loveland and Sam Roush... Carlson would be an obvious choice for promotion.
Keyshawn James-Newby — “another elevation, or even a roster spot”
James-Newby made only one tackle but showed enough in other areas to earn another elevation, or even a roster spot, as the Eagles prepare to host the Cowboys on Monday Night Football.
Daniel Faalele — “will at the very least be active on game day”
But he will at the very least be active and be closer to stepping onto the field than he was before.
Stephen Carlson to land on the practice squad
If he continues to struggle, I would expect to see the Bears call up eight-year veteran Stephen Carlson from the practice squad to take over the TE2 role until Kmet returns.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling to land on the practice squad
Valdes-Scantling is a prime candidate to be elevated from the practice squad over the next few weeks given the Steelers' lack of depth at receiver... it's reasonable to assume Valdes-Scantling will get the nod over at least one (if not both) in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints and beyond.
Jawhar Jordan — “jump onto the 53-man roster”
has certainly made a good case to jump onto the 53-man roster, especially if Houston wants to steer away from incorporating Montgomery as a key piece of their game plan
Jonah Coleman — “activated off injured reserve”
Activating Coleman is a no-brainer, but the exact timing of when the Broncos do so could be tied to what happens with Tyler Badie... which is why we may not see news of Coleman's return until later in the week.
De'Von Achane — “key player for the Dolphins in 2027”
veterans like Aaron Brewer, Jordyn Brooks and De'Von Achane and maybe Zach Sieler figure to be key players for the Dolphins in 2027
Jordyn Brooks — “key player for the Dolphins in 2027”
veterans like Aaron Brewer, Jordyn Brooks and De'Von Achane and maybe Zach Sieler figure to be key players for the Dolphins in 2027
Aaron Brewer — “key player for the Dolphins in 2027”
veterans like Aaron Brewer, Jordyn Brooks and De'Von Achane and maybe Zach Sieler figure to be key players for the Dolphins in 2027
Storm Duck to make the roster
the Dolphins clearly didn't see enough from him during those three weeks of practice to keep him on the 53, though perhaps he'll resurface on the practice squad at some point
Zane Gonzalez — “eventually will be signed to the active roster”
one would suspect that Gonzalez eventually will be signed there because it's not like they'll want to be rotating kickers every three games
Najee Harris to land on the practice squad
All of this isn't to say he deserves a 53-man roster spot (he'd need to prove himself first)... he could be a game-day practice-squad promotion three times for the Eagles
Marquez Valdes-Scantling to land on the practice squad
The Pittsburgh Steelers are adding Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad, and it's easy to interpret that they're expecting to call him up to the active roster as soon as possible.
Bill Norton to land on the practice squad
With Ford out, the Rams will likely elevate Bill Norton from the practice squad.
Jeremiyah Love — “put on IR by Wednesday of this week”
I still do think Jeremiah will be put on IR by Wednesday of this week. That's my prediction.
Brandon Smith to land on the practice squad
At some point, the Steelers will likely sign Brandon Smith off of the practice squad. ... After that, Smith will likely sign to the 53-man roster
Zach Charbonnet to make the roster
This means he will likely be on the roster at some point ahead of the Chiefs game, but it also doesn't mean he'll be ready to go.
Jalen Hurts — “placed on injured reserve”
At this point, it seems like almost a given that the Eagles will end up putting Hurts on injured reserve.
Brandon Smith to land on the practice squad
If Wilson and Pittman Jr. are both out long-term, Smith is likely to be signed to the 53-man roster after his three practice squad elevations.
Keagen Trost — “activated from injured reserve”
For now, the Rams are moving toward activating Trost from injured reserve.
A.J. Brown — “officially elevated to the active roster off injured reserve”
Offensive tackle Marcus Bryant returned to practice along with Brown, signaling that the two (when officially elevated to the active roster) will be the third and fourth players the Patriots reactivate off of injured reserve/non-football injurt.
