New York Jets 53-Man Roster Cut Tracker 2026: Live updates and analysis

The New York Jets' preseason has officially come to an end. The next time the Jets take the field for an actual football game will be for the team's regular-season opener against Robert Saleh and the Tennessee Titans in two weeks' time.

But before then, the Jets have some business to attend to. NFL teams are in the process of trimming 90-man rosters down to 53, with a league-wide deadline set for Sunday, August 28, at 6 pm ET.

That means over 1,100 professional football players will be released from their contracts in the coming days. For some, it'll be a minor bump in the road before latching on with a practice squad or another team. For others, it might just be the end of their football journey.

There will undoubtedly be some surprises as the Jets trim their roster to the league-mandated 53 players. And as always, a team’s initial 53-man roster is rarely the final product. The Jets have the No. 2 spot on the waiver order and could be active in the hours following cutdown day.

This tracker will be used to keep fans up to date with every roster cut the Jets make, including up-to-the-minute analysis on every single move. This is the ONLY roster cut tracker you will need.

Below is a list of all the roster moves the Jets have reportedly made to this point. This list will be regularly updated, so be sure to check back frequently to remain in the know on every move the Jets make over the next couple of days.
