FRISCO - With week one of the regular season finally on the horizon, the Cowboys made their final cuts from the roster on Saturday afternoon, making 37 roster moves in total to get down to the 53-man limit. And on Monday, they made another, involving a running back.

No, not Ezekiel Elliott (who per our report may be back as soon as today); Jordan Chunn is the lucky man who comes up to the 53-man varsity. The thinking is that he can be a special-teams contributor. 

We've been told an offensive lineman will be moved to make room; that could be Connor McGovern to IR.

Keep in mind that when Elliott does sign, Dallas will make another move - likely the release of O-lineman Brandon Knight.

With that in mind, let's take a look at the Cowboys "new'' final 53-man unit, with the first practice week of the regular season set to begin on today.
