Every roster spot calls take
151–175 of 2,502
Xavier Restrepo — “works his way into live action sooner rather than later”
Don't be at all surprised if the sophomore pass-catcher works his way into live action sooner rather than later.

Nate Lynn — “transition to the active game-day roster early in the season”
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 land on the practice squad
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 be cut
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.
Jacardia Wright to land on the practice squad
Jacardia Wright, an undrafted free agent in last year's draft, is expected to be on the practice squad.
Max Brosmer to be cut
Meanwhile, the Vikings opted to waive Brosmer, paving the way for a likely practice squad reunion.
Dillon Bell to land on the practice squad
But while Bell impressed, a deep room makes him expendable, and the Vikings will likely try to sneak him down to the practice squad like Brosmer.
Decamerion Richardson to land on the practice squad
If not, Richardson would likely be brought back on the practice squad.
Nnamdi Madubuike — “in line to play early this season”
