Each of these players, if moved to IR, would be eligible to practice following Week 3. Also likely (but not confirmed) to go to IR are TE Sean McKeon, OT Josh Ball, DT Neville Gallimore, CB Kelvin Joseph and LB Francis Bernard. Rookie DE Chauncey Golston was activated from PUP and he’ll likely go on IR so he’s back quicker than the 6 weeks PUP demands. Turner’s foot injury could send him to returnable IR and he’s one of several players who appear destined for that designation. Perhaps the club tries to carry Fehoko, but he could be a waive with a prayer he lands on their practice squad. Right now Dallas is rolling with five wideouts, and two of the biggest 53-man questions for them were Malik Turner and rookie Simi Fehoko. Williams is the starter at left guard and Watkins had been playing with the starters at DT. Lamb is a starter while Brown has a huge special teams role as well as being WR4/WR5. None of them currently count towards the roster but will, likely in plenty of time to play in Week 1. The Cowboys have five players with key roles currently on the Reserved/Covid list: Lamb, WR Noah Brown, LG Connor Williams, safety Damontae Kazee and DT Carlos Watkins. Here are some ideas of what will happen next, followed by a position-by-position breakdown of who is here and who is out. Perhaps that room is just vacated by players who will be going on short-term IR. As soon as he and the other four players are available, more room will be necessary. This also doesn’t take into account players like WR CeeDee Lamb, who are currently on the Covid-19 list and don’t count towards the roster limit. So guys like long snapper Jake McQuaide are cut, knowing they’ll be resigned on Wednesday. There are several players who are injured and won’t be able to help the team out in the first few weeks of the season, but they have to make the 53-man roster before being placed on IR for at least three weeks. Like last season, Dallas has undoubtedly cut veteran players, those with at least 4 seasons of accrued service, with an agreement they will be right back on the roster. There were one or two, but with creativity in planning, Dallas is doing their best job to keep people long term even if they are saying goodbye in the short term. Dallas dropped 24 players from their roster with little surprises among the names. The Dallas Cowboys have completed the requisite number of releases to get down to the 53-man roster limit by the league’s 3:00 p.m.
