In the aftermath of the NFL roster cuts, the waiver wire saw significant activity, with the Carolina Panthers leveraging their top position to claim five defenders, including cornerbacks Keenan Isaac and Tariq Castro-Fields. The Los Angeles Rams lost offensive lineman Zachary Thomas to the New England Patriots, who added him to their 53-man roster. Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals did not claim any players and saw only linebacker Trevor Nowaske get picked up by the Detroit Lions. Other teams also made adjustments, with the Seattle Seahawks losing players Jon Rhattigan and Jamie Sheriff to the Panthers. This flurry of claims reflects teams' strategies to strengthen their rosters ahead of the upcoming season. With the season opener just a week away, teams are now focused on finalizing their practice squads.
