With NFL cutdown day officially behind us, the road is paved for teams to establish their practice squads. Waiver wire claims went through at noon ET on Wednesday, and the Dallas Cowboys added almost all of their 16 practice squad spots.
Before teams can sign players to their 16-man practice squad, the players who got cut on Tuesday and have less than four accrued seasons go through waivers. This is when other teams can claim players. But if those players aren’t claimed, they can sign to a practice squad.
Which Dallas Cowboys Players Made the Practice Squad?
Offense
Sean McKeon (SOURCE: Dallas Cowboys)
Sean McKeon was one of the most surprising roster cuts, with the team’s decision to keep three running backs on the final roster. But McKeon being on the practice squad gives him an excellent chance to be elevated at some point during the regular season.
Princeton Fant (SOURCE: Dallas Cowboys)
Princeton Fant was an underrated player throughout training camp and preseason. He also showed his value in the red zone at camp and had some nice grabs.
Malik Davis (SOURCE: Dallas Cowboys)
Malik Davis adds depth to the running back room, even if the roster already has four backs. If elevated from the practice squad, he can also add a blocking and special teams element.
Jalen Moreno-Cropper (SOURCE: Dallas Cowboys)
Jalen Moreno-Cropper was a consistent standout during training camp and showed potential to take off in the wide receiver room with his speed and ability to create separation.
Tyron Johnson (SOURCE: Dallas Cowboys)
Tyron Johnson had a few standout moments in training camp and can continue developing in the wide receiver room.
Earl Bostick (SOURCE: Dallas Cowboys)
Earl Bostick gives the team much-needed depth on the offensive line as a possible swing tackle if needed.
Brock Hoffman (SOURCE: Dallas Cowboys)
Brock Hoffman showed flexibility throughout training camp and preseason with his ability to work in the center and on the right side of the line.

Defense

Tyrus Wheat (SOURCE: Dallas Cowboys)
Tyrus Wheat is a versatile threat that has the potential to grow within Dan Quinn’s scheme.
