NFL Roster Cuts and MLB Call-Up Candidates Highlight Sports Week
The NFL is approaching its roster cut deadline, with teams required to finalize their 53-man rosters by 6 p.m. ET on Sunday. This period often leads to significant player releases, including several notable veterans who may soon become free agents.
In addition to cuts, teams are also looking to make last-minute additions. For instance, the Rams are reportedly considering strengthening their linebacker group. Meanwhile, the Seahawks have signed Leonard Williams to a substantial three-year, $90 million contract.
As the calendar shifts to September, MLB teams will expand their rosters, allowing for two additional players. This change opens opportunities for players on waivers, such as Eugenio Suárez, and for top prospects to make their major league debuts, including Franklin Arias of the Red Sox.
