Every roster spot calls take
1526–1550 of 2,428
Caleb Lomu to make the roster
OL: Will Campbell, Alijah Vera-Tucker, Jared Wilson, Mike Onwenu, Morgan Moses, Caleb Lomu, Ben Brown, James Hudson, Marcus Bryant, Andrew Rupcich (10)
Mike Brown to make the roster
However, I still have faith in Brown, who played deep into the fourth quarter Thursday.
Leonard Taylor III to make the roster
I still have confidence in Leonard Taylor's role on this defense
Harold Landry III to make the roster
EDGE: Dre'Mont Jones, Gabe Jacas, Harold Landry, Elijah Ponder, Bradyn Swinson (5)
Mike Onwenu to make the roster
OL: Will Campbell, Alijah Vera-Tucker, Jared Wilson, Mike Onwenu, Morgan Moses, Caleb Lomu, Ben Brown, James Hudson, Marcus Bryant, Andrew Rupcich (10)
Tanner Arkin to make the roster
TE: Hunter Henry, Eli Raridon, Tanner Arkin (3)
Bradyn Swinson to make the roster
EDGE: Dre'Mont Jones, Gabe Jacas, Harold Landry, Elijah Ponder, Bradyn Swinson (5)
Morgan Moses to make the roster
OL: Will Campbell, Alijah Vera-Tucker, Jared Wilson, Mike Onwenu, Morgan Moses, Caleb Lomu, Ben Brown, James Hudson, Marcus Bryant, Andrew Rupcich (10)
Arian Smith to be cut
Most fourth-round picks don't usually get cut after just a single year on the team in the following camp. Arian Smith may be the exception.
Bailey Zappe to be cut
Things don't look good for Zappe to make the 53-man roster, or even find a home on the practice squad.
Thomas Fidone II to land on the practice squad
With the Giants likely to deploy a lot of heavy personnel, there could very well be a spot for Fidone on the practice squad unless he delivers a performance that tops that of veteran Chris Manhertz, who is Fidone's biggest obstacle to a roster spot.
Eric Johnson to be cut
That said, tt 28 years old, Johnson is facing an uphill battle to make the Vikings' 53-man roster.
Keonta Jenkins to make the roster
Jenkins does exactly that by having a breakout game as he all but secures his spot on the 53-man roster.
- PendingBrennan IshamRoster Spot Calls2026 season
Amar Johnson to make the roster
If he follows the familiar path of the previous game, the young running back might see his way onto the Chargers 53-man roster.
Amar JohnsonLos Angeles Chargers
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 15, 2026 Robert Tonyan to make the roster
Tonyan's stock has been pointing upwards for some time, and he appears to have sealed his fate with four catches for 61 yards against his former team in the preseason opener.
Robert Spears-Jennings to make the roster
At this point, it's nearly impossible to foresee a world where Pittsburgh doesn't include Spears-Jennings on its 53-man roster.
Riley Nowakowski to make the roster
A hybrid fullback-tight end, Nowakowski cemented himself as a consistent piece of Pittsburgh's offense heading into the regular season.
Adam Prentice to make the roster
There has been a debate about whether to go with Prentice or a fourth running back on the 53-man roster... the play of Jaleel McLaughlin, Tyler Badie, and Cody Schrader made it clear that Prentice should stick on the roster over any of them.
Brenen Thompson to make the roster
Thompson is a rookie hand-picked by Mike McDaniel, so he's not going anywhere. His inclusion would make it about five wideouts as a lock already.
Noah Avinger to make the roster
If Avinger has a good preseason, he could very well make the team's practice squad as a potential future depth option.
Uar Bernard to make the roster
Complicating matters even further is that the Eagles will also likely have to save a spot on the roster for multiyear international prospect Uar Bernard.
Christian Kirk to be cut
Unless he practices soon, I'd expect Kirk to be cut. He'd be a waste of a roster spot
Marquise Brown to make the roster
The conventional wisdom is that $5 million in guarantees will keep Brown safe, and that's probably true.
Nick Martin to be cut
after he didn't impress against the Titans, he's easily going to be off the team
Jacob Cowing to be cut
He is definitely a cut candidate after camp.
