Former Michigan State defensive back Ameer Speed secured a place on the Dallas Cowboys 53-man roster following the conclusion of training camp. Speed enters his fourth NFL season after previous stints with the Chicago Bears, New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts, and Houston Texans. During his time with the Texans last season, he appeared in two games and recorded two tackles. His path to the roster included a single season at Michigan State in 2022, where he registered 62 tackles and five passes defended across 12 games after transferring from Georgia. While Speed earned a spot, the Cowboys released Josh Butler as part of the team's initial roster decisions. Additionally, the team placed linebacker Marist Liufau and cornerback Devin Moore on the Reserve/Injured-Designated for Return list and waived DJ Rogers with an injury designation.
