NFL Roster Cuts: 10 Players Facing Uncertain Futures Ahead of 2026 Season
The NFL preseason is nearing its end, with the regular season set to begin on September 9. As teams finalize their rosters, many players are vying for their spots, facing potential cuts or trades ahead of the August 30 deadline for 53-man rosters.
Among those at risk is New York's backup running back, who has struggled this preseason, leading to uncertainty about his future with the team. Similarly, Broderick Jones of the Steelers, a former first-round pick, has had a disappointing performance, surrendering three sacks in two games, raising questions about his roster status. Cleveland's quarterback situation is also under scrutiny, with Gabriel needing a strong showing in the final preseason game to secure his position.
Other notable players include Neal from the Giants, who has not met expectations, and Levis from the Titans, whose performance has declined since a shoulder injury. Additionally, Smith, Braswell, Johnson, Ojulari, and Kohou are all facing uncertain futures as teams assess their depth and performance ahead of the final roster decisions.
