What happened: Each club trimmed its preseason roster from 90 players to the 53-man limit by 6 p.m. ET Sunday. Players with four or fewer accrued seasons entered waivers, while veterans became free agents.

Why it matters: The transactions set opening-week depth charts and created the pool for practice squads. Clubs may carry 16 practice-squad players, with a 17th slot available for an international player.

What to watch: Further changes can come through waiver claims, free-agent signings and practice-squad additions before the 2026 regular season.
