NFL Roster Moves — August 26, 2026
The day's full run of NFL roster transactions: waiver claims, injured-reserve placements, signings and a Tuesday trade, all confirmed against the league's official transaction wire.
Wednesday's cutdown-week churn produced another wave of roster movement across the league, with teams trimming and reshuffling ahead of the 53-man deadline. The headline move of the day was the Chiefs' acquisition of guard Joshua Ezeudu from the Giants for a 2028 seventh-round pick, while Seattle placed two players — rookie defensive back Bud Clark and tackle Mason Richman — on season-ending injured reserve.
