NFL preseason roster competition and uncertainty

Overview

As the August 30 deadline for NFL teams to finalize 53-man rosters approaches, several teams are navigating significant depth chart uncertainties.

In Pittsburgh, the Steelers are seeing a close competition between running backs Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle, who have alternated series during preseason play. Other league-wide battles include the New Orleans Saints, where Spencer Rattler is competing to maintain his position on the quarterback depth chart, and the Carolina Panthers, where the potential release of undrafted rookie Haynes King has drawn scrutiny.

The Tennessee Titans are facing specific decisions regarding quarterback Will Levis, who is currently positioned behind Cam Ward and Mitchell Trubisky. Some analysts have suggested the possibility of trading Levis before the deadline to prevent him from being lost on waivers. Conversely, the Titans have seen positive development from second-year wide receiver Elic Ayomanor, who is performing well in preseason sessions and may be prepared for a larger role in the team’s offensive system.
