The Dallas Cowboys have submitted their initial 53-man roster as the franchise prepares for the upcoming season. Undrafted free agent Camden Brown secured a spot at wide receiver following a strong preseason, while the team opted to carry three quarterbacks in Joe Milton III and Sam Howell. The roster reflects significant movement on the offensive line, including the acquisition of Broderick Jones from the Pittsburgh Steelers and the trade of Nate Thomas to the Houston Texans. Running back Jaydon Blue was released, leaving Malik Davis as a notable reserve. Elsewhere, Tyrus Wheat and Alijah Clark earned roster spots due to their contributions on special teams, and Marist Liufau was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return.
