Cowboys release WR Denzel Mims after preseason finale against Saints

Summary

The Dallas Cowboys cut wide receiver Denzel Mims on August 30, following their 27-24 loss to the New Orleans Saints in the preseason finale. Mims, a former second-round pick, managed just one reception for minus one yard during the preseason and became expendable amid strong competition for roster spots. Other wide receivers, such as Jordan Hudson, showed standout performances, likely contributing to Mims' release. The Cowboys also traded for offensive tackle Broderick Jones on the same day, further reshaping their roster ahead of Week 1. Linebacker Marist Liufau is set to undergo surgery for a fractured forearm, leaving him out for an extended period.
