Here are the Cowboys’ moves to pare their roster down to 53:

• WR Traeshon Holden
• CB Troy Pride
• S Mike Smith
• RB Deuce Vaughn
• DE Tyrus Wheat

Placed on IR (return designation):

• DE Payton Turner
• WR Jonathan Mingo

Placed on reserve/PUP list:

• CB Josh Butler
• LB Demarvion Overshown

Placed on reserve/NFI list:

• CB Shavon Revel

Revel’s timetable has remained murky, but this placement offers some clarity. The third-round rookie cornerback will miss at least four games after being transferred from the active/NFI list to the reserve/NFI list. While the Cowboys had aimed for Revel to play in September, his father’s comment about the ACL rehab effort pointed to a slightly lengthier recovery timetable. Revel suffered the tear in September 2024; he will now be out more than a year since the injury.

Vaughn has been with the Cowboys since they drafted him in the 2023 sixth round, but the team overhauled its backfield this offseason. Dallas signed Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders before drafting two RBs (Jaydon Blue, Phil Mafah). Vaughn could be retained on a practice squad deal, but teams cannot begin assembling their taxi squads until Wednesday.

Overshown is espected to miss most of the season after suffering a major knee injury in Week 14. Turner suffered broken ribs, per ESPN’s Todd Archer. While Turner and Mingo will count against Dallas’ in-season injury activations, dropping the number to six, Mafah will be carried on the active roster and then placed on IR.
