The Dallas Cowboys have completed their roster cuts, reducing their team from 91 players to the mandated 53 in preparation for the 2026 NFL season. This decision comes as the team gears up for their season opener in East Rutherford, while also working on finalizing their practice squad.

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer described this year's roster cuts as particularly difficult due to the team's depth and talent. The initial roster features three quarterbacks, three running backs, and six wide receivers, along with a variety of players in defensive and special teams positions.

The roster includes notable names such as Dak Prescott, Joe Milton, and Sam Howell at quarterback, and running backs Javonte Williams, Malik Davis, and Hunter Luepke. The wide receiver lineup showcases CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Ryan Flournoy, among others. Additionally, several players have been designated for injured reserve or the physically unable to perform list, including linebacker Marist Liufau and cornerback Devin Moore.

The Cowboys are expected to make further roster adjustments as they finalize their preparations for the upcoming season.
