As the NFL's roster cut deadline passed, teams have begun making strategic moves to optimize their 53-man rosters and practice squads. The Detroit Lions emerged as winners by adding veteran wide receivers Tim Patrick and Allen Robinson to bolster their receiving corps. The Dallas Cowboys also made headlines by signing veteran running back Dalvin Cook to their practice squad, indicating plans for his future involvement. Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Colts are eyeing potential waiver claims to enhance their roster, particularly in the safety and cornerback positions, following a season where they successfully claimed players after cuts. In the AFC West, the Broncos are exploring trade options for RB Samaje Perine and WR Tim Patrick, with plans to release both if trades do not materialize. Overall, teams are proactively reshaping their rosters as they prepare for the upcoming season.
