Dallas Cowboys 53-man roster cuts tracker updated

With the Dallas Cowboys required to cut their 90-man roster to 53 players between now and Saturday afternoon, we track the cuts live here.

This year, the NFL removed the 75-man roster cut down day that normally takes place prior to the final preseason game for their teams. That means, the Dallas Cowboys will have to release a whopping 37 players between now and Saturday afternoon in order to trim their roster from 90-men to just 53.

League-wide, this means there will be over a thousand players hitting free agency or the waiver wire in the next two days. Not only will the Cowboys, as well as every other NFL team, be making career-changing decisions about players on their own rosters, but they’ll also be looking to add new free agents who could possibly help their team this year.

With so much happening in the next couple days, news about early releases and cuts usually starts to trickle out via social media during this time. Below, we’ll do our best to track those moves for you. Please comeback to this story often as we plan on updating it throughout the cut down process.
