Cowboys 53-man roster and depth chart predictions after second week of training camp

The Dallas Cowboys are two weeks into training camp and we've already seen a few injuries -- non-serious which is a good thing but they still have an impact on the way the team is able to evaluate their players.

Coaches are installing players that may never have been given a chance to compete against the more talented lineups the Cowboys have. The coaching staff may not like it because they want to be able to give every player equal opportunity to prove their worth but for the players, it's another chance to shine, and it gives us some insight into how they view some of these players as well.

So far it's been the secondary that's been effected the most, but Sam Williams is hindered by a shoulder injury so the players behind him are also getting a chance to make plays.

With that being said we can start to get a better grasp on how the Cowboys want to build this roster. So, let's take a look at what we've seen so far in training camp and try to figure out what this roster could look like at the beginning of the regular season.

Dallas Cowboys Offensive Depth Chart

Quarterbacks - In this offensive roster prediction, we have the Cowboys' with two quarterbacks on the active roster but you can expect them to keep Will Grier on as well thanks to the league bringing back the third quarterback rule.

Running Backs - Thanks to his two-game suspension Ronald Jones may have just punched his own ticket to being cut when the time comes. Rico Dowdle has been impressing head coach Mike McCarthy with his football IQ along with his physical abilities. Good to see him finally showing what many thought he has been capable of when healthy.

Wide Receivers - This one gets a bit tricky because these receivers all have different skill sets that can help the Cowboys, but the most notable name left off this list is Simi Fehoko. When you come into camp and the first thing you do is bobble a football which then turns into an interception, it's not a good look and then you go down with an injury in a situation where two rookies battling for your spot. Jalen Brooks has been quite impressive so far in camp along with Jalen Moreno-Cropper.

Tight Ends - This one is more of a placeholder because we left draft pick Luke Schoonmaker off the initial roster. There's a chance to Cowboys slow walk this injury and place him on IR in order to give him the best chance to heal that foot injury. Once he's ready to go Sean McKeon will be released.

Offensive Line - We know what the starting lineup along the offensive line is going to look barring an injury or extended holdout from Zack Martin. After that though it's more of a toss-up but we've given it a shot and have them keep Edoga for his experience if a guard goes down, Waletzko sliding into the swing tackle position. Hoffman is a player that may not make it thanks to Farniok's ability to play center.

Dallas Cowboys Defensive Depth Chart

Defensive Ends - Nothing crazy here though I could see these coaches keeping Florida A&M UDFA Isaiah Land as well. Dan Quinn has spoken highly of him and if he performs well the rest of camp and in the preseason games, he could force them to make a tough choice. Outside of that, the Cowboys are going to continue to run with the crew they have with Fehoko and Golston playing both inside and out.

Defensive Tackles - I can see the Cowboys trying to move both Quinton Bohanna and Neville Gallimore in order to get themselves a kicker, or depth at a position that gets hit with injuries. Look for the Cowboys to continue using Golston inside where he did very well last season along with rookie Fehoko who has that same quickness inside versus guards with Hankins and Smith manning the middle to slow down opposing running games.

Linebackers - The only surprise out of this group is Devin Harper who the Cowboys were high enough on to draft but dealt with an injury last season. His ability to play special teams will also come in handy as they will be moving on from a special teams player they've had issues with. Jabril Cox is someone that's also feeling the heat and could be on the bubble but so far he's performed well and could end up making the roster.

Safeties - The Cowboys have their core four safeties and that's not going to change, though Markquese Bell could sneak on following the injury to Donovan Wilson.

Cornerbacks - The Cowboys have an abundance of talent at cornerback. The addition of rookie Eric Scott Jr. was one that at the time was a head-scratcher for many but after seeing what he can do on the field so far in camp the Cowboys could have found themselves another DaRon Bland.

Dallas Cowboys Special Teams Depth Chart

I still don't believe the Cowboys have their starting kicker on this roster and seeing the reports out of training camp is only adding fuel to that fire. Neither Tristan Vizcaino nor Brandon Aubrey have been able to separate themselves or show any consistency in the kicking battle. Like I said before looking for them to move one of these defensive tackles in an effort to get a more reliable kicker.
