Our picks and predictions for the 2026 NFL season
Joe Rivera, Chris Bumbaca and Adam Kaufman break down their predictions for the 2026 NFL season on the latest episode of the Sports Seriously NFL Vodcast.
The NFL’s annual 53-man roster deadline passed on Sunday, Aug. 30, at 6 p.m. ET, and a total of 1,184 league-wide roster spots evaporated when that happened.
The good news for the released players? Many of them will not remain unemployed long. NFL teams will start filling out their practice squads soon after final cuts occur and players clear waivers.
Each NFL team will be able to keep as many as 17 players on their practice squads. The only stipulation is that one of the 17 players must be from the league’s International Player Pathway (IPP). If a team opts not to add an IPP player to its practice squad, it will only be able to roster 16 practice squad players.
Here are the latest updates about each team’s practice squad signings as the NFL navigates its final, major player movement period before the 2026 NFL season.
