Overview

• The league requires clubs to trim from up to 90 players to 53 by 4 p.m. ET Tuesday, with transactions surging throughout the day.
• Roughly 1,100 players will lose roster spots, with sub–four-year players subject to waivers awarded by last year’s draft order led by the Titans, while vested veterans become free agents.
• Reported releases include quarterbacks Kyle Trask, Hendon Hooker and Tyler Huntley, lineman La'el Collins, cornerback Mike Hilton, defensive back Shilo Sanders and punter Ryan Stonehouse.
• Teams began cutting in waves, including Arizona’s first 12 moves that featured backup QB Clayton Tune, New England’s early round of 14 cuts and Green Bay waiving veteran receiver Mecole Hardman.
• Coaches highlighted the human toll of the process, with Sean McDermott and Sean McVay stressing empathy, honest feedback and pathways to practice-squad returns under the 16‑plus‑1 international format.
