Dallas Cowboys sign 15 players to the 2026 practice squad
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys have finalized a 15-player practice squad following their initial roster cuts on September 1, 2026. The team moved on from several players, including backup running backs Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah and quarterback Joe Milton, none of whom were retained for the practice squad. Management shifted its focus toward securing veteran depth, signing experienced players such as offensive lineman Wanya Morris. Other notable additions include linebacker Justin Barron and defensive back Derion Kendrick. Coach Brian Schottenheimer described the roster reduction process as emotional, noting the team’s goal of building depth to sustain a full 17-game season and a potential playoff run. The practice squad remains a fluid roster, allowing the organization to adjust personnel as needs arise during the season.
