NFL Roster Moves — September 11, 2026
A lighter transaction day before Week 1: Washington and Detroit trimmed veterans off the active roster, Tennessee reshuffled its interior offensive line, and Houston backfilled a defensive tackle spot after an injury designation
Posted
Friday's transaction wire was quiet by Week 1 standards, with most of the day's activity built around guaranteed-salary deadlines and depth-chart repairs rather than headline signings. Two veteran linemen came off active rosters on the eve of the season, one team reshuffled its interior offensive line ahead of a Sunday kickoff, and Houston moved quickly to replace an injured rookie up front.
