Every roster spot calls take
1226–1250 of 2,428
Haynes King to be cut
FanSided authors Zachary Rotman and Mark Powell, however, see King as the "most painful" cut the Panthers are going to have to make.
Haynes King to be cut
FanSided authors Zachary Rotman and Mark Powell, however, see King as the "most painful" cut the Panthers are going to have to make.
Cian Slone to make the roster
UDFA rookie Cian Slone is certainly making himself known, and I think he will make it
Malcolm Koonce to make the roster
Koonce will make the roster, but he deserves scrutiny when others like Johnson and Slone are flashing.
Matt Gay to make the roster
A great 52-yard field goal and solid kicking have all but solidified his role. I have reported since before the NFL Draft that he was in the driver’s seat for the kickers’ lone spot on the 53-man roster, and that remains accurate.
Devin Singletary to be cut
the odd man out might be Devin Singletary, who already took a major pay cut to stay with the team
Thomas Fidone II to make the roster
Tight end Thomas Fidone II and cornerback Korie Black round out this class, but they will be hard-pressed to make the final roster.
Korie Black to make the roster
Tight end Thomas Fidone II and cornerback Korie Black round out this class, but they will be hard-pressed to make the final roster.
Emmanuel Ogbah to make the roster
He's currently buried at the bottom of the depth chart while working his way back into football shape after signing just a week ago, but his chances of making the 53-man roster skyrocketed Thursday.
Kedon Slovis to be cut
given he's not a starter and is likely going to be waived ahead of 53-man roster cuts
Jared Wayne to make the roster
one player already on the 90-man roster feels due for much better odds to make the 53-man cut: third-year wideout Jared Wayne.
Jaylan Ford — “secured his place in the linebacker rotation”
His performance likely secured his place in the linebacker rotation in an already deep group alongside Danny Stutsman .
Haynes King to land on the practice squad
the Panthers may have no choice but to put him on the practice squad, where another NFL team will almost surely poach him and roster him, leaving him forever as a Panthers "what if."
Marist Liufau to be cut
"Unless Dallas parts ways with Houston or Williams, Liufau is a long shot to make the roster and could draw interest from teams intrigued by his versatile skill set. Otherwise, he's a prime cut candidate."
Will Levis to be cut
USA Today's Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz had Levis at the top of his cut possibilities, saying, "... Levis has been reduced to a clear No. 3 option. With development a priority throughout the roster, carrying three quarterbacks seems like a luxury that Tennessee can't afford."
Will Levis to be cut
Levis is perhaps the biggest name to watch as a cut candidate in this final week or so. He'll be playing for his NFL career on Sunday.
Marquise Brown to be cut
A good Day 2 of practice could push Brown off the roster bubble, even if his contract continues to imply he'll be with the Eagles.
Hayden Rucci to make the roster
With George Kittle out, Rucci could find a way to slip onto the 53-man roster with two more solid weeks.
Brandon Smith to be cut
Assuming he is released at final roster cuts and another team doesn't pick him up, however, Smith feels like a practice squad lock should he be relatively healthy
Brandon Smith to be cut
his chances to crack the 53-man roster might be all but gone at this point

Micah Parsons — “will not be ready for Week 1; set to return by mid-October”
because he suffered an ACL injury so late in the season, he will not be ready for Week 1. He is set to return by mid-October

Rashee Rice — “expected to be available in Week 1”
Rice is expected to be available in Week 1 after missing significant time in each of the past two seasons.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 20, 2026 Kyle McCord to make the roster
Kyle McCord will be that third quarterback if he continues making the type of big-time throws he delivered on Wednesday at training camp. ... That left McCord as the third and final quarterback on the roster and made him the leader in the clubhouse to grab a spot on the practice squad. The job will be his if he keeps trending in this direction.
Elijah Williams to make the roster
The second-year big man is an intriguing prospect on the defensive interior who keeps building a case to make the team's final 53-man roster.
Tanner Hudson to be cut
Bleacher Report's Moe Moton recently suggested that the Bengals should cut ties with veteran tight end Tanner Hudson this offseason.
