The Dallas Cowboys are in the process of finalizing their initial 53-man roster, with a deadline set for 6 PM ET on August 30, 2026. This roster will reflect the culmination of efforts made during the offseason, including free agency, the draft, organized team activities (OTAs), minicamps, training camp, and three preseason games.
While the Cowboys are preparing this initial roster, it is important to note that it is subject to change. Teams often engage in trades, claim players from the waiver wire, or sign free agents who do not require waivers. As such, the Cowboys' roster may see further adjustments after the initial cuts.
As of now, no cuts have been reported. The team will continue to update their roster moves as new information becomes available. Additionally, there will be a practice squad tracker released later to monitor further developments in player signings.
Fans are encouraged to stay informed as the Cowboys finalize their roster and prepare for the upcoming season, including their opening game against the New York Giants, where they are currently favored by 2.5 points according to NFL odds from FanDuel.
