Dallas Cowboys finalize 53-man roster for season opener against New York Giants

The Dallas Cowboys have set their 53-man roster and 17-man practice squad ahead of their season opener against the New York Giants. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer enters the game following a training camp that included joint sessions against the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints. While the team remains largely healthy, Tyler Smith is expected to begin the season on returnable injured reserve. The roster includes a full complement of active players and designated practice squad members available for selection. The Cowboys head into Sunday night as 3-point favorites to start their 17-game campaign. This transition to the regular season follows a series of preseason exhibitions where reserves saw significant playing time.
