The Dallas Cowboys completed their roster adjustments to comply with the NFL's 53-player deadline, resulting in notable player cuts. Among those waived were second-year running back Jaydon Blue and former second-round pick Sam Williams. Quarterback Joe Milton III was also released, despite a strong preseason performance.
In a strategic move, the Cowboys claimed running back Emari Demercado off waivers and signed offensive tackle Wanya Morris. Many of the players released were retained on the practice squad, which now features a blend of rookies and veterans, including Israel Abanikanda (RB), Jordan Hudson (WR), and Tommy Dunn (DT).
Several players showcased their skills during the preseason, with wide receiver Jordan Hudson making impressive catches and defensive tackle Tommy Dunn noted for his run defense. Linebacker Justin Barron excelled in coverage, while Reddy Steward demonstrated consistency in the defensive backfield.
Some players who were cut have found new opportunities, with Julius Wood joining the Miami Dolphins and guard Trevor Keegan signing with the Minnesota Vikings. Jaydon Blue, along with defensive backs Zion Childress and Trikweze Bridges, has signed with other NFL practice squads, marking new beginnings after their time with the Cowboys.
