The Dallas Cowboys have a 53-man roster.
Keep in mind that this group is going to change over the coming days and that things may appear awkward in some senses. This is all a part of the standard process of getting players under the proper types of designations and ensuring that the overall team, which will in that theoretical sense extend beyond 53 players, is exactly how the Cowboys want it.
Here it is.
Quarterback (2)
Running back (4)
Fullback (1)
Wide Receiver (5)
Tight End (3)
Offensive Line (9)
Defensive End (6)
Defensive Tackle (5)
Linebacker (5)
Cornerback (6)
Safety (4)
Specialists (3)
The Cowboys traded Asim Richards as they whittled down to this group which obviously opened up a spot. As noted they will also open up a few spots over the next few days with various moves, likely placing players on injured reserve. It was reported earlier on Tuesday that Phil Mafah and Caelen Carson are strong candidates for this.
On the subject of injured reserve, you are not seeing Jonathan Mingo or Payton Turner listed here and that is because they have already been placed on IR. Teams are allowed to place two players there before roster cutdowns and maintain their eligibility to return. A reminder that all players on IR must miss at least four games before returning. Also of note, Josh Butler and DeMarvion Overshown are on the PUP list while Shavon Revel remains on NFI.
There you have it. This is the group.
What do we think?
