2026 MAC Prospect NFL Cut Days Tracker

The last 24 hours have been a chaotic time for all 32 NFL franchises as they figure out both their initial 53-man rosters and their 16-member practice squads.

The prospects from the 2026 NFL Draft Class, especially at the bottom of the draft or from undrafted free agency, hope they've made an impression on their coaches to be retained.

The tracker below is meant to catalogue those prospects and where they have ended up after all the wheeling and dealing, ordered alphabetically by MAC program name order.

This article will be updated periodically if any other news emerges.
