Patriots practice squad and waiver wire tracker: Signings, losses and rumors

NFL cutdown day is underway, but the New England Patriots still have plenty left to do in building their team for the upcoming 2026 season. After finalizing an initial 53-man roster on Sunday, the team will look to add potential waiver-wire claims and build a 16-player practice squad.

Teams can enter waiver claims to add players with fewer than four accrued seasons to their active rosters until 1 p.m. ET on Monday. Shortly after, an initial 16-player practice squad can be built out of internal and external cuts.
