Happy Wednesday, Cowboys Nation. The Dallas Cowboys' 53-man roster for the 2024 NFL season is set, CeeDee Lamb has put ink to paper and reunited with his teammates on the practice field, and all is right in the world.

In less than two weeks, the team will kick off its 2024 campaign on the road against the Cleveland Browns, but until then, there are still a handful of things to monitor.

Over the next few days, there could still be some roster shakeups with waivers and finalizing the practice squad, so the player movement isn't done yet.

In the meantime, let's check out some headlines that may have gotten lost in the shuffle of Tuesday's roster cut madness.

Indulge.
