The Cowboys early 53-man roster projections. Subject to change with off-season injuries and new signings.

Jason Parkhurst-USA TODAY Sports

After a sad start to the first wave of free agency the Dallas Cowboys have made significant changes through the draft and post draft free agent signings. Here is my early prediction on who will make the 53-man roster at the start of next season. This is subject to change due to off-season injuries that place players on the PUP or IR-list giving the Cowboys flexibility when forming their roster.

Players Who Just Missed The Roster

RB - Malik Davis

RB - Nathaniel Peat

WR - Jalen Brooks

SS - Juanyeh Thomas

TE - Peyton Hendershoot

DE - Tryus Wheat

OT - Josh Ball

OT - Chuma Edoga

In this prediction the Cowboys have 14 new players joining their 53-man roster. This is an early prediction and the roster could very well change if somebody goes down with an injury. If and when a player is put on the IR or PUP list expect one of the players who just missed the roster to take their place.
