NFL Teams Finalize 53-Man Rosters Ahead Regular Season

As the NFL preseason nears its end, teams are finalizing their 53-man rosters ahead of the cutdown deadline. The Seattle Seahawks are focusing on decisions around their running backs and tight ends, with potential moves involving practice squads, especially concerning players like Holani and Martinez. The Arizona Cardinals are expected to keep only two quarterbacks and face injury-related roster challenges, with several players projected to start the season on PUP or injured reserve. The Minnesota Vikings are navigating key battles at quarterback, running back, and wide receiver, with rookies and undrafted free agents competing for spots amid suspensions and injuries. The New Orleans Saints highlighted Spencer Rattler's clutch 20-yard touchdown in a preseason game, which could influence the quarterback competition as roster decisions approach. Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers are managing injury concerns across multiple positions, including running backs and receivers, while preparing for their final preseason game before setting their roster.
