Packers finalize initial 53-man roster for the 2026 season

The Green Bay Packers established their initial 53-man roster on Sunday following the conclusion of training camp and three preseason games. General manager Brian Gutekunst executed three trades on the deadline, moving quarterback Kyle McCord to Miami while acquiring running back Kaleb Johnson from Pittsburgh and tight end Mark Redman from Los Angeles. The roster adjustments include placing Josh Jacobs on the Commissioner's Exempt List and moving Luke Musgrave, Micah Parsons, Savion Williams, and Collin Oliver to reserve lists. The team opted to keep ten offensive linemen and seven defensive tackles after evaluating performance during camp. These roster decisions remain subject to potential changes starting Monday as league-wide waiver claims commence.
