Notable NFL cuts at 53-man roster deadline: Will Levis, Evan Neal and Uar Bernard

NFL teams faced an earlier-than-usual 6 p.m. ET Sunday deadline to finalize their initial 53-man rosters, moved up from the typical Tuesday cutoff to accommodate a Week 1 game between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams in Australia. Among the notable cuts were Will Levis, a second-round pick (No. 33) by the Tennessee Titans in 2023, and Evan Neal. Also released was Uar Bernard, a seventh-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2026 draft who had never played organized football before and is part of the NFL's International Player Pathway Program, originally from Nigeria.
