Pro Blue Live Tracker: Former Michigan Football Players Cut From NFL Rosters

The NFL preseason is over and teams must cut down their roster to 53-players. There were 90 players on most rosters during the preseason, and things will get challenging for management to make their final decisions.

And for several former Wolverines, they didn't make cut. Here is every former Michigan player who has been cut by an NFL team ahead of the 53-man roster deadline.

Former Wolverines cut from NFL rosters

(This is an ongoing tracker and will be updated throughout the day)

OT Andrew Stueber (Atlanta Falcons)

The former Wolverines tackle spent two seasons on the Patriots' practice squad. He saw action in seven games for the Cincinnati Bengals, but he will have to pivot to see the field in 2026 as the Falcons moved on from Stueber.

DT Rayshaun Benny (Baltimore Ravens)

A bit of a surprise, the Ravens cut their seventh-round draft pick. Benny started for Michigan last season, and former defensive coordinator Jesse Minter opted to take Benny in the seventh round. Minter could opt to sign him to the practice squad if he clears waivers.

WR Cornelius Johnson (Baltimore Ravens)

The former seventh round pick hasn't made any noise in the NFL. He joined Jesse Minter's new team ahead of the 2026 season, and after making an impressive snag in the final preseason game, Johnson was part of the casualties on Sunday.

LB Michael Barrett (Baltimore Ravens)

The Ravens signed Barrett days ago, but his time in Baltimore has come to an end. He was drafted in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Panthers, but was traded to the Seahawks. He has been on a few practice squads, and will now look for a new home.

OT Ryan Hayes (Carolina Dolphins)

Ryan Hayes started his NFL journey with the Miami Dolphins, but he was hopeful he could make the Panthers' roster this season. However, he sustained an injury, and while he was waived, if Hayes goes unclaimed, he will end up on Carolina's injured reserve list.

OG Trevor Keegan (Dallas Cowboys)

Keegan was reportedly waived on his 26th birthday. After starting his career with the Philadelphia Eagles, he was claimed on waivers by Dallas last season. However, Keegan will look for a new opportunity after his stint with the Cowboys is over.

LB Cam McGrone (Las Vegas Raiders)

McGrone was drafted by the New England Patriots, but played the last four seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. He appeared in 26 games over four seasons and made 13 tackles. McGrone will now head to free agency.

LB Junior Colson (Los Angeles Chargers)

Another surprising cut: Junior Colson's time with the Chargers comes to an end. After taking Colson with a third-round pick, he suffered injury issues, and while he played well this preseason, Jim Harbaugh has moved on from his former Michigan linebacker.

RB Donovan Edwards (Miami Dolphins)

Donovan Edwards has bounced back and forth with NFL teams since graduating from Michigan. Edwards didn't play in the Dolphins' final preseason game, and was cut from the team. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, he will be free to sign with any NFL team.

Edge David Ojabo (Miami Dolphins)

David Ojabo's NFL career never came to fruition as many thought it would. The second-round draft pick played four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, but the Dolphins were the team to sign him to a one-year deal this offseason. However, Ojabo's time in Miami was cut short.

WR Donaven McCulley (Miami Dolphins)

McCulley was an undrafted free agent from this past class, and he was hopeful to join a young Miami team. The 6'5" playmaker came to the Wolverines last season in hopes of providing Bryce Underwood with a top target, but Andrew Marsh ended up as the top playmaker.

LB Josh Ross (Minnesota Vikings)

Ross signed with the Vikings ahead of the season, but he didn't end up on their 53-man roster. The undrafted free agent played two seasons with the Ravens and last played in 2024 with the Seahawks, under Mike Macdonald.

RB Hassan Haskins (New England Patriots)

Haskins entered the league as a fourth-round pick by the Tennessee Titans. He played the last two seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers, under Jim Harbaugh, but signed with the Patriots ahead of the preseason. Despite playing in all three games, Haskins was a casualty of cutdown day.

WR Ronnie Bell (New Orleans Saints)

Ronnie Bell played three seasons with the 49ers after being drafted in the seventh round by the team. He played in 28 total games and caught 10 receptions. Bell was hoping to get on with the Saints, a team that has a young wide receiver corps, but he will now hit the open market.

DT Mazi Smith (New York Jets)

Mazi Smith was a first-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys, but never lived up to expectations. He was traded to the Jets last season, and after a lackluster preseason, the former Wolverine is on the market.

OT Myles Hinton (Philadelphia Eagles)

The Eagles drafted Myles Hinton in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Philadelphia moved Hinton to offensive guard, but opted to switch him back to tackle. Hinton struggled with the transition and didn't make the Eagles' 53-man roster for the season.

CB Ambry Thomas (Philadelphia Eagles)

The former third-round pick had appeared in 42 games and made 11 starts during his NFL career, but he will be back on the market after the Eagles waived him. Thomas had 43 tackles in the 2023 season with the San Francisco 49ers, and he will look to bounce back.

OL Greg Crippen (Pittsburgh Steelers)

Greg Crippen was Michigan's starting center last season, and he went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft. Odds weren't high for Crippen to make the Steelers' 53-man roster, and now he will look to earn a practice squad spot somewhere.

RB Kalel Mullings (Tennessee Titans)

The Titans selected Mullings in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, but injuries prevented him from seeing the field in Year 1. Entering the new season, the Titans added to their running back room, and Mullings didn't see any carries in the preseason.
