SFEveryone from this program on an NFL roster right now, injured list included, with the club they play for. Practice squads aren't counted. Off nflverse, refreshed daily — a player cut on Tuesday is gone on Wednesday.
See the Western Kentucky depth chart for the two-deep at every position. Coach, stadium and seating come from Ourlads and refresh twice a day — a capacity is the stadium's listed seating, not an attendance figure. Records count completed games; rankings are the latest AP poll.
