Marist Liufau left the Dallas Cowboys' preseason finale after appearing to injure his left wrist in the first quarter. This injury may hinder Liufau's chances of making the roster as he competes against players like Justin Barron and Sam Williams for a spot. Liufau had transitioned from off-ball linebacker to edge rusher this offseason but had recently returned to inside linebacker in practice. The Cowboys are set to finalize their roster cuts by Sunday at 5 pm CT, and the injury could lead them to consider placing Liufau on injured reserve.
