Cowboys Get Down To 53
The Cowboys have made their cuts to get down to 53 players. Nothing too surprising on this list, although there is at least one interesting takeaway. The Cowboys cut three running backs, leaving Alfred Morris and Tony Pollard as the only two currently with the team. That’s a strong indicator that the team is expecting Ezekiel Elliott back before Week 1.
Receiver Devin Smith also made the roster as their final receiver, which is a nice feel-good story. Drafted by the Jets 37th overall back in 2015, multiple ACL tears derailed his promising career. Smith has had brutal injury luck and hasn’t appeared in a game since 2016, so this is nice to see.

Cowboys Add 13 UDFAs
The Cowboys announced their 13-man UDFA group Tuesday. One familiar-looking name appears on this list. Here is the full contingent:
- Larry Allen Jr., OL (Harvard)
- Andrew Dowell, LB (Michigan State)
- Luke Gifford, LB (Nebraska)
- Jalen Guyton, WR (North Texas)
- Nate Hall, LB (Northwestern)
- Mitch Hyatt, T (Clemson)
- Jon’Vea Johnson, WR (Toledo)
- Brandon Knight, T (Indiana)
- Justin Phillips, LB (Oklahoma State)
- Derrick Puni, T (Central Missouri)
- Ricky Walker, DE (Virginia Tech)
- Chris Westry, CB (Kentucky)
- Daniel Wise, DE (Kansas)
Allen is indeed the son of Hall of Fame Cowboy Larry Allen. Like his father, Larry Allen Jr. primarily works as a guard. He earned first-team All-Ivy League honors twice. While Clemson’s defensive line received the draft attention, Hyatt was a two-time first-team All-American.
The younger brother of Patriots defensive end Deatrich Wise, Daniel Wise was a two-time first-team All-Big 12 player. Westry stands 6-foot-4, making him a natural fit for Kris Richard‘s scheme. One of three linebackers in this group, Phillips led Oklahoma State in tackles last season. Dowell was among the Big Ten’s 2018 tackle leaders, registering 97 with the Spartans as a senior.
