Today is the day that all 32 NFL teams must trim their roster to 75 players by 3:00 P.M. (CST). This round of cuts is generally the easier of the two and usually include undrafted free agents that were brought in as camp bodies and were considered long shots to make the 53 man roster. Along with player designations to IR, PUP, and NFI lists.
Here’s the list of transactions that the Cowboys made to trim the roster to the required 75.
Waived:
CB-Robert Steeples, P-Tom Horsey, LS-Casey Kreiter, DT-Carlif Taylor, WR-Phil Bates, TE-Brandon Barden, LB-Jonathan Brown, WR-Antwan Goodley, WR-David Porter
Waived-Injured:
DE-Kenneth Boatright, OT-R.J. Dill, RB-Michael Hill
Injured Reserve:
CB-Orlando Scandrick
Reserve-NFI:
LB-Mark Nzeocha
Reserve-PUP:
OT-Chaz Green
No big surprises here. Check back later in the week when the teams make their final roster cuts to get to the 53-man limit on September 5th.
