Who is on the Dallas Cowboys practice squad? Tracking the moves
The Cowboys have met the NFL deadline to get their rosters cut to 53 players, but now they have the chance to put 16 on the practice squad.
The Cowboys made several moves to get the roster down to 53 on Tuesday, most of which weren’t too surprising. They traded third-year tight end Peyton Hendershot to the Chiefs and kept four others on the roster, one of whom was Brevyn Spann-Ford. They chose to keep defensive end Tyrus Wheat over Carl Lawson and Andrew Booth at cornerback over Eric Scott. Some other notable cuts were running back Malik Davis, defensive tackle Justin Rogers, and offensive tackle Josh Ball.
Still, though the 53-man roster is set, waivers are just beginning to clear, and the 16-man practice squad is still to be determined.
Who will be on the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad?
Some players still need to clear the waivers before they can be added to the practice squad, but there are a few players who could be added to the Cowboys’ practice squad soon.
Potential practice squad players - Dallas Cowboys
- LB Brock Mogenson
- DE Carl Lawson
- RB Dalvin Cook
NFL Insider Aaron Wilson reported that the Cowboys are planning to sign linebacker Brock Mogenson to the practice squad, but nothing is official just yet.
Another possible addition is running back Dalvin Cook, who worked out with the Cowboys on Tuesday. As Dallas already has Ezekiel Elliott, Rico Dowdle, Hunter Luepke (fullback), and Deuce Vaughn as part of their running back committee approach, Cook would likely just be a practice squad addition.
Defensive end Carl Lawson was originally signed with the Cowboys as a potential replacement for Sam Williams, but he didn’t make it to the final cut. However, it’s highly likely Dallas will bring the veteran back to the practice squad just in case he needs to be called up.
