"The 2025 NFL season will kick off next week as the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles play host to the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, Sept. 4 (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC), which means teams are cutting their rosters in preparation. Teams were required to finalize their 53-man rosters by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. With the preseason already in the books, teams began making their 2025 roster cuts over the weekend."
"Biggest move: With the uncertain status of Micah Parsons for the opener, James Houston (one sack, three hurries and two tackles for loss in 2024) was likely one of the beneficiaries, as Dallas chose to carry six pass rushers on the 53-man roster. Houston was disruptive in practices and during the games, but now can he make the game-day roster?"
The NFL required teams to set 53-man rosters by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday ahead of the 2025 season opener between the Eagles and Cowboys on Sept. 4. Numerous roster moves, cuts and trades occurred during the deadline, including the Panthers releasing Hunter Renfrow and the Raiders acquiring QB Kenny Pickett from the Browns. The Cowboys opted to carry six pass rushers, benefiting James Houston amid uncertainty around Micah Parsons. Several players were placed on reserve lists, including Jonathan Mingo and Payton Turner, while injuries and designated-to-return considerations will affect immediate roster decisions.
