Dallas Cowboys conclude preseason with evaluation of roster hopefuls
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys finished their 2026 preseason schedule, completing the final evaluation of the roster before the mandatory league deadline for cuts. Coaching staff utilized the concluding game to assess players, with 30 individuals held out of active participation. The staff focused on identifying roster locks and evaluating the performances of younger athletes who competed for spots on the final squad. One rookie wide receiver showed notable performance during the contest, securing a larger role in the team's depth chart consideration. This final game served as the last opportunity for fringe players to demonstrate their utility before Sunday’s roster reduction.
