Forty-one former Texas football players secure NFL active roster spots

Following Sunday's league-wide roster reductions to the 53-man limit, 41 former Texas Longhorns players remain on active NFL rosters. These athletes are distributed across 22 of the league's 32 teams as the 2026 season approaches. The Denver Broncos currently hold the largest contingent of former Texas players with five on their active roster, while other teams account for the remainder. NFL teams may continue to adjust their lineups in the coming week prior to the official season kickoff. Players who were recently released, such as running back Jaydon Blue, remain eligible to sign with new organizations. Additionally, injured players including Brenden Schooler and Jaylan Ford are expected to be added to active rosters once they clear recovery timelines.
