The Dallas Cowboys completed their roster adjustments to meet the NFL's 53-player requirement, resulting in several significant cuts. Notable players released include second-year running back Jaydon Blue and quarterback Joe Milton III, who had performed well in preseason. Former second-round pick Sam Williams was also waived after a challenging recovery from ACL surgery.
In a strategic move, the Cowboys added running back Emari Demercado from waivers and signed offensive tackle Wanya Morris. The practice squad now features a blend of rookies and veterans, including Israel Abanikanda (RB), Jordan Hudson (WR), and Anthony Smith (WR), among others.
Several players showcased their talents during preseason, such as wide receiver Jordan Hudson and defensive tackle Tommy Dunn. Linebacker Justin Barron excelled in coverage, while Curtis Robinson made notable contributions on special teams. Reddy Steward also demonstrated reliability in the defensive backfield.
Some of the released players found new opportunities with other teams. Julius Wood was picked up by the Miami Dolphins, while guard Trevor Keegan joined the Minnesota Vikings. Jaydon Blue, along with defensive backs Zion Childress and Trikweze Bridges, has signed with other NFL teams' practice squads, starting anew after their tenure with the Cowboys. Further details on the roster changes remain pending.
