USA Today • • general
Key Points:
- The NFL completed its mandatory roster cuts to 53 players for the 2026 season, but teams will continue to adjust rosters through waiver claims and practice squad formations.
- The Los Angeles Rams made a significant move by bringing back Aaron Donald from retirement, potentially bolstering their defense alongside Myles Garrett.
- Quarterback Quinn Ewers was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he secured the No. 2 quarterback spot, marking a positive turn after being relegated in Miami.
- Several undrafted free agents, including Joe Fagnano and Jack Strand, successfully made initial rosters, highlighting the ongoing importance of overlooked players in the league.
- Notable disappointments include the uncertain future of Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy, the precarious state of the Packers' running game amid Josh Jacobs' legal issues, and the surprising release of tight end Justin Joly by the Denver Broncos.
