Nearly two weeks into Dallas Cowboys training camp, here are 10 players whom I believe are candidates for being on the roster bubble.

The Dallas Cowboys have been in Oxnard, California for nearly two weeks now and they are nine total practices into training camp. They will play the San Francisco 49ers this Thursday in the first of four preseason games.

Following the annual Blue/White Scrimmage, which was held on Sunday, here are my ten best guesses for the most notable players who are currently on the roster bubble in Dallas.

Kony Ealy, DE

There is a logjam of talent at defensive end on the Cowboys’ roster right now. But I’m not sure Ealy would make the team with even less competition. The 2014 second-round selection has looked sluggish and inconsistent at training camp. It seems unlikely he’ll survive past final cuts.

Marquez White, CB

The 2016 sixth-rounder is facing stiff competition to find a spot on the active roster at cornerback. The move of Byron Jones from safety to corner this offseason did White no favors. With young undrafted players like Charvarius Ward and Donovan Olumba making plays at training camp, Marquez might find it hard making it back to the practice squad, much less the final 53.

Chaz Green, OT

It appears that the former third rounder is still battling the demons that baffled him in the Cowboys’ Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. That’s where Green and fellow offensive lineman Byron Bell allowed little-known pass rusher Adrian Clayborn to rack up a whopping 6.0 sacks on Dak Prescott. Dallas is giving Green every opportunity to make this roster, yet the 26-year old appears to already have his bags packed.
