Every roster spot calls take
51–75 of 2,427
Marcus Davenport to make the roster
The edge rusher they have to pay off that cap total is defensive end Marcus Davenport when they do move him on the 53-man roster.
Brevin Jordan to make the roster
The most likely bet to be the odd man out, at least to start, would be Jordan. That's because he's been dealing with a leg injury as of late, and wasn't one of the four on the initial 53-man roster to begin with.
Keyshawn James-Newby to make the roster
If either veteran stalls, don't be surprised if the Eagles promote the rookie they were most afraid to lose.
J.C. Davis to make the roster
OT J.C. Davis — the Giants are not likely to carry a fourth offensive tackle
Tyrone Tracy Jr. to make the roster
RB Tyrone Tracy, Jr. The odds of the Giants keeping four running backs active for Sunday night really don’t make sense.
Darius Slayton to make the roster
WR Darius Slayton ... There’s no need to dress Slayton ... for the game
Braxton Berrios to make the roster
Because we project that receiver Braxton Berrios will be elevated from the practice squad, the Giants would only need to have six players inactive.
Bobby Jamison-Travis to make the roster
DL Bobby Jamison-Travis — the young draft pick needs a little more time to develop his skills to be fully competitive at this level.
Thomas Fidone II to make the roster
TE Thomas Fidone II — The Giants aren’t dressing four tight ends and a fullback. Fidone becomes the odd man out in this case.
Elijah Campbell to make the roster
DB Elijah Campbell ... I can’t see how the Giants would keep both him and Elijah Campbell active.
Trevon Diggs to make the roster
He will begin the regular season on the practice squad, but there are plans for him to be a part of their secondary once he gets up to speed.
LeQuint Allen Jr. to make the roster
It seems like LeQuint Allen Jr. will most likely miss the game
Alijah Huzzie to make the roster
cornerbacks Bryce Hall and Alijah Huzzie... they've got a great chance to be elevated at some point this season
Bryce Hall to make the roster
cornerbacks Bryce Hall and Alijah Huzzie... they've got a great chance to be elevated at some point this season
Jawhar Jordan to make the roster
Running backs Jawhar Jordan and Noah Whittington... So for many of the Texans' practice squad players, like in the case of those in the running back or defensive back room, they've got a great chance to be elevated at some point this season
Noah Whittington to make the roster
Running backs Jawhar Jordan and Noah Whittington... they've got a great chance to be elevated at some point this season
- PendingJosh AlperRoster Spot Calls2026 season
Taylor Rapp to make the roster
Any return would likely begin via the practice squad, which would give Rapp a chance to work with the team and potentially be activated on gameday.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 4, 2026 Micah Parsons to make the roster
He's going to miss the first four games.
Ogbo Okoronkwo to make the roster
Expect the 49ers to call up veteran defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo from the practice squad for this game.
- PendingJohn GreenRoster Spot Calls2026 season
Greg Dortch to make the roster
fans shouldn't be surprised if Dortch eventually makes his way onto the active 53-man roster by the time the end of September comes around
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 3, 2026 J.J. McCarthy to make the roster
After weeks of speculation, the Minnesota Vikings are expected to keep third-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy on the active roster.
Xavier Restrepo to make the roster
Don't be at all surprised if the sophomore pass-catcher works his way into live action sooner rather than later.
- PendingColby ColwellRoster Spot Calls2026 season
Nate Lynn to make the roster
Ossai's injury could pave the way for him to make the transition to the active game-day roster early in the season.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 1, 2026 Joe Milton III to make the roster
He's unlikely to sign to an active roster, because a team that wanted him on the active roster probably would have claimed him on waivers. The Cowboys want Milton on their practice squad , but it's possible that he'll accept an offer from another team.
Skyler Thomas to make the roster
That said, and even though he made the Bears' initial 53-man roster, Thomas may yet be released ahead of the Bears' Week 1 season opener against the Carolina Panthers, and not for no reason.
