The Dallas Cowboys set their initial 53-man roster on Tuesday afternoon and it will undergo a few changes before things are fully finalized and ready for them to begin their Week 1 preparation. Next Thursday will be here before we know it.
While the Cowboys have a final (ongoing) 53-man roster they also have to put together a practice squad. This post will serve as our tracker to keep tabs on the names that Dallas is adding there.
Some FAQ topics answered regarding an NFL practice squad: • NFL teams are allowed to have 16 players and can carry a 17th if the extra is from the league’s International Pathway Program. • A maximum of six players on the squad can have had NFL experience. • Each Tuesday of the season the league can “protect” four of them so that they cannot be poached.
