Seydou Traore will be on the field for the Miami Dolphins when the 2026 NFL season begins. Per Yahoo Sports' reporting, the British tight end has been included in Miami's initial 53-man roster, meaning he survived the first wave of roster cuts and is eligible to play from Week 1 onward.
The inclusion is significant for Traore, who becomes one of the few players with his background to secure a spot on an NFL active roster heading into the regular season. His survival of the cuts comes as NFL teams across the league finalized their 53-man rosters on the deadline.
Around the league, other significant roster moves were taking shape. The Cincinnati Bengals, per Yahoo Sports, are still evaluating linebacker options on the market, suggesting they may not be settled at the position despite their initial cuts. The reporting indicates the Bengals "might know something we don't" about internal roster needs at that spot.
The Denver Broncos also completed their roster finalization, per Yahoo Sports' coverage of their 53-man composition. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams are managing a notable injury situation with their marquee off-season acquisition: Myles Garrett, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, has been dealing with swelling in his knee.
Garrett, whom the Rams acquired from Cleveland in June after he posted 23 sacks in 2025, missed 13 practices including a joint session with Dallas. But his impact on the Rams' locker room has been felt regardless—Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott acknowledged Garrett's sideline presence during that missed practice, noting the pass rusher was "definitely on the field" in spirit. Per ESPN's reporting, Garrett's new teammates have commented on his presence as an "incredible player" who is "changing the culture" of the defense, even while sidelined.
The Rams are being cautious with Garrett as they work to maximize the remaining window with Matthew Stafford at quarterback. Garrett told the team upon arrival that he wasn't trying to "force" himself "on anyone or try to take over a group," recognizing the Rams' established culture.
Across the board, the preseason has concluded and roster cuts are now in the rearview. Yahoo Sports reports that attention has shifted to gauging rookie stock in the wake of the evaluation period, with players like Ty Simpson and Fernando Mendoza drawing particular attention for their preseason performance.
