The following is a list of players who have initially made the 53-man roster for the upcoming 2020 season. Players who were released today will go through the waiver process and if unclaimed by 12:00 Noon Sunday, will become free agents. Teams can then sign players to the expanded 16-player practice squad, which has special eligibility rules for this upcoming season – expect some veteran names released from the main roster to potentially return to the practice squad as rosters are shaped in preparation for Week 1’s games (which are right around the corner!)
