Cowboys make 28 moves to build initial 53-man roster



[ad_1]

FRISCO, Texas – The Cowboys waived / released 24 players on Tuesday, including quarterbacks Garrett Gilbert and Ben DiNucci, to hit the 53-player NFL limit.

Released (not subject to exemptions)

  • QB Garrett Gilbert
  • With Darian Thompson
  • CB Deante Burton
  • LS 1 Jake McQuaide
  • OT Eric Smith
  • TE Jeremy Sprinkle
  • DT Justin Hamilton
  • WR Johnnie Dixon
  • QB Ben DiNucci
  • WR Osirus Mitchell
  • WR Reggie Davis
  • WR Aaron Parker
  • S Steven Parker
  • RB Brenden Knox
  • RB JaQuan Hardy
  • Tyler coyle
  • FB Nick Ralston
  • TE Nick Eubanks
  • TE Artayvious Lynn
  • BY Austin Faoliu
  • OT Isaac Alarcon
  • C Braylon Jones
  • WR Brandon Smith
  • BY Ron’Dell Carter
  • Defensive tackle Trysten Hill has returned to the reserve / physically unable to play list for at least the first six weeks of the season, per NFL rules. It’s the same schedule for wide receiver TJ Vasher, returning to the reserve / non-football injury list. Both players counted towards the training camp roster, but did not participate due to injury.
  • Wide receiver Noah Brown has been placed on the Reserve / COVID-19 list.
  • Defensive end Chauncey Golston, who passed the camp on the Active / PUP roster, has achieved his physique and counts towards the 53.

However, the Cowboys by no means finalized the roster.

A few players will be eligible to be on the revocable reservist / injured list after Tuesday, once they have been on the 53-player list for a day. Candidates include defensive tackle Neville Gallimore (elbow), tight end Sean McKeon (ankle) and offensive tackle Josh Ball (ankle). It is therefore possible that one or more of the seven veteran players released on Tuesday, including long snapper Jake McQuaide, will be re-registered at some point. As acquired veterans, they are not required to go through the waiver process.

The club are also hoping that four Reserve / COVID-19 players – wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, goalie / center Connor Williams, defensive tackle Carlos Watkins and safety back Damontae Kazee – will be activated soon.

And of course, the Cowboys will keep an eye on the tie-up and players cut by other teams. Thin deep positions include running back and tight end. Currently, the Cowboys only have two running backs (Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard) and two healthy tight ends (Blake Jarwin, Dalton Schultz).

The Cowboys will begin building their 16-man practice squad on Wednesday after the players clear the waiver.

Obviously, however, there is still a long way to go.
