Cleveland Browns 53-man roster cuts tracker (Chris Pokorny) – “The Cleveland Browns have until Sunday at 6:00 PM ET to make roster cuts and announce their initial 53-man roster. Some of those cuts or rumors about roster moves might leak early, though. The Browns may also announce them in waves — for example, some cuts may be announced Friday, some on Saturday, etc.”
Browns 53-man roster prediction: Last 4 in, last 4 out (Barry Shuck) – “The Cleveland Browns finished their 2026 exhibition schedule on a high note by having their second-and third-string guys demolish the New England Patriots. The contest gave both coaching staffs an idea of who to cut and who to keep. Now for the difficult part of being an NFL head coach: cutting players.”
Browns QB room: Patriots game enough to secure roster spots? (Abby Mueller) – “The Cleveland Browns’ final preseason game against the New England Patriots allowed both Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green to make their case for a spot on the initial 53-man roster. Gabriel brings experience to the table, having played at multiple college programs and appeared in several games during the 2025 season. Green is coming in as the rookie looking to show that there are enough tools there that could develop into a competent NFL quarterback.”
Browns 53-man roster: Expect creative moves with a few vets, QB room (Jared Mueller) – “It is quite impressive how quickly things need to turn from the Cleveland Browns final preseason game to the initial 53-man roster decisions. As we shared in our roster tracker piece, the Browns planned schedule tells us that most of their moves will be made a full 24 hours plus before the NFL’s mandate.”
Making a case for the Browns to keep WR Luke Floriea (Barry Shuck) – “The worst position group for the Cleveland Browns last year was arguably the wide receiver group. GM Andrew Berry took on the assignment to improve this group and get them out of the hole of being ranked #32 last year. In case you are scoring at home, that is dead last.”

Cleveland Browns

Cleveland announced it had terminated the contracts of four players and waived 12 on Aug. 28. The team has until 6 p.m. Aug. 30 to get its roster down to the initial 53-man limit.”
Browns 53-man projection after preseason finale: How many QBs make the cut? (The Athletic) – “The Cleveland Browns will be one of the league’s youngest teams in 2026. But most of the complications in projecting the team’s initial 53-man roster stem from lingering injury issues.”
Predicting the initial 53-man roster (Browns Zone) – “General manager Andrew Berry will have a busy weekend. The NFL deadline for cutting the roster to the regular-season limit of 53 is Sunday at 6 p.m. While the vast majority of the decisions have been made — most weeks, if not months, ago — questions remain at the bottom of the roster. They may not be answered completely by Sunday, as this feels like a year when Berry will be active on the waiver wire.”
Deshaun Watson and the moral dilemma at the forefront of Cleveland Browns football (andscape.com) – “Deshaun Watson has the right to begin anew, and he received a fresh start this week when he was named the Browns’ starter.”
NFL
Cardinals’ Carson Beck losing valuable reps with setback (ESPN) – “Once the regular season starts, Carson Beck will be in a position familiar to all the quarterbacks around the NFL who aren’t starters. With how practices are structured during the season, there isn’t enough time for the backup and third-string quarterback to get a significant amount of reps.”
Keeping four QBs is bad roster building (Behind the Steel Curtain) – “After the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 28-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills to close out the preseason, head coach Mike McCarthy was asked if all four quarterbacks did enough to secure a roster spot.”
Who are the NFL’s 26 most intriguing figures of the looming 2026 regular season? (The Athletic) – “In less than two weeks, the 2026 NFL regular season will kick off. Here’s a look at 26 of the most intriguing figures across the league in the 2026 season.”
