Every roster spot calls take
151–175 of 2,429
K.J. Osborn to make the roster
K.J. Osborn has a shot to make the roster as Tennessee's sixth receiver.
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.
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.
Eli Heidenreich to make the roster
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.
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.
Van Jefferson to make the roster
Jefferson appears unlikely to make the roster at this point
Feleipe Franks to make the roster
Feleipe Franks is expected to make the roster for his play on special teams.
Brycen Tremayne to make the roster
This means Tremayne is the one backup receiver who is a lock to make the roster.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ja'Tavion Sanders to make the roster
Unless the Panthers keep five tight ends, he is unlikely 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.
Malik Davis 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.
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.
Brashard Smith to make the roster
It’s also possible Smith doesn’t make the roster if Kansas City keeps only three running backs.
Robert Tonyan to make the roster
The fact that Pittsburgh rested him suggests he will make the roster as its third tight end.
Raheim Sanders to make the roster
A few players who played for Cleveland in this game are likely to make the roster, including running back Raheim Sanders, seventh-round rookie tight end Carsen Ryan
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.
Carsen Ryan to make the roster
likely to make the roster, including running back Raheim Sanders, seventh-round rookie tight end Carsen Ryan
Mitchell Tinsley to make the roster
That could leave Tinsley as the odd man out at wide receiver.
Emmanuel Henderson to make the roster
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.
