2025 Dallas Cowboys Practice Squad tracker: All players reported to group

The Dallas Cowboys set their initial 53-man roster on Tuesday afternoon and it will undergo a few changes before things are fully finalized and ready for them to begin their Week 1 preparation. Next Thursday will be here before we know it.

While the Cowboys have a final (ongoing) 53-man roster they also have to put together a practice squad. This post will serve as our tracker to keep tabs on the names that Dallas is adding there.

Some FAQ topics answered regarding an NFL practice squad:

• NFL teams are allowed to have 16 players and can carry a 17th if the extra is from the league’s International Pathway Program.
• A maximum of six players on the squad can have had NFL experience.
• Each Tuesday of the season the league can “protect” four of them so that they cannot be poached.
• Every week the Cowboys (or any NFL team) can promote two players from the squad to their active roster but only three times maximum. Beyond that the player must be a member of the active roster.

This post from Hogs Haven covers some of the NFL’s practice squad details more in depth if you are curious.

As noted we will be tracking the players who the Cowboys are adding to their own squad. You can find the list below.
