Multiple NFL Rookies Face Early Roster Cuts Before Training Camp

NFL teams are already facing significant roster decisions ahead of the 2025 season, with several players at risk despite prior expectations. The Green Bay Packers' seventh-round pick Kalen King faces stiff competition at cornerback and is projected to potentially miss the 53-man roster, as the team has depth in the slot corner position. Meanwhile, the New York Giants may have found a promising undrafted free agent receiver in Dalen Cambre, who impressed during spring practices and is projected to make the final roster. The Los Angeles Chargers, despite drafting wide receivers Tre Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith, may cut Lambert-Smith, who is unexpectedly in a roster battle, and veteran Jalen Reagor is also considered a cut candidate due to underwhelming performance. The Cleveland Browns are likely to move on from running back Pierre Strong Jr., as they prioritize younger players like Jerome Ford and rookie Quinshon Judkins to fill their running back needs. These scenarios highlight the competitive and uncertain nature of NFL roster spots, especially for players drafted in later rounds or signed as undrafted free agents.
