The Dallas Cowboys have completed their roster cuts, reducing the team from 91 players to an initial 53-man roster in preparation for the 2026 NFL season. This decision comes as the team wraps up its preseason and gears up for the regular season opener.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer noted that the process of cutting down the roster was particularly challenging this year, citing the team's improved depth and talent. The Cowboys will continue to refine their roster as they work towards establishing a practice squad and may make additional personnel changes before their first game.
The finalized roster includes three quarterbacks: Dak Prescott, Joe Milton, and Sam Howell. The running back group features Javonte Williams, Malik Davis, and Hunter Luepke, while the wide receiver lineup consists of CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy, KaVontae Turpin, Jonathan Mingo, and Camden Brown.
In the tight end position, Jake Ferguson, Brevyn Spann-Ford, and Luke Schoonmaker have been selected. The offensive line includes nine players, with notable names such as Tyler Smith and Terence Steele.
On defense, the roster comprises five defensive tackles, six outside linebackers or edge rushers, four linebackers, five cornerbacks, and six safeties. The specialists include Brandon Aubrey, Bryan Anger, and Trent Sieg.
