Cowboys Reduce Roster To 53 Players

August 27th, 2024 at 11:03pm CST by Ely Allen

After some late trades and signings, the Cowboys joined in the NFL’s mass exodus of players to get their roster down to 53 players:

Released:

RB Royce Freeman
LB Darius Harris
DE Carl Lawson
C Dakoda Shepley
LB Nick Vigil

Waived:

T Josh Ball
DB Josh Butler
RB Snoop Conner
WR Jalen Cropper
RB Malik Davis
DT Denzel Daxon
TE Princeton Fant
DB Kemon Hall
WR Kelvin Harmon
DB Emany Johnson
WR Racey McMath
LB Brock Mogensen
DT Justin Rogers
DB Julius Wood

Placed on IR:

T Nathan Thomas

Placed on IR (designated for return):

CB DaRon Bland

A number of veterans who were hoping to make the team in Dallas this year saw that hope come to an end. Freeman couldn’t compete with the young backups behind Ezekiel Elliott. Lawson couldn’t contribute to a depleted defensive line, either.

Rogers, the team’s seventh-round pick out of Auburn, is the only drafted rookie to be waived, though Thomas, the team’s other seventh-round pick out of Louisiana, will miss the entire season on injured reserve.

Brevyn Spann-Ford didn’t end up getting drafted, but the 24-year-old, 6-foot-7 tight end out of Minnesota will be the fourth tight end on the roster to start the year.

Wednesday’s reserve/futures contracts:

Cleveland Browns

LB Caleb Johnson

Dallas Cowboys

Bryant joined the Cowboys in November, and though he didn’t appear in any games, Bryant left a good impression in Dallas after several weeks on the practice squad. He was released late in the season as the team shuffled the roster a bit but makes his return to Dallas for the offseason.

Jaguars Trim Roster To 53

August 29th, 2023 at 2:18pm CST by Sam Robinson

Teams have until 3pm CT to trim their rosters to the 53-man limit. The Jaguars are getting an early start. Here are the players the Jags cut Tuesday:

Released:

Waived:

LS Tucker Addington
WR Kevin Austin
S Latavious Brini
OLB D.J. Coleman
RB Snoop Conner
OL Coy Cronk
DL De’Shaan Dixon
CB Erick Hallett
WR Jacob Harris
CB Kaleb Hayes
LB Dequan Jackson
OL Samuel Jackson
WR Oliver Martin
K James McCourt
S Ayo Oyelola
TE Derek Parish
TE Josh Pederson
TE Gerrit Prince
WR Kendric Pryor
QB Nathan Rourke
OLB Jordan Smith
OLB Willie Taylor
DL Raymond Vohasek
OL Darryl Williams
WR Seth Williams
CB Divaad Wilson

Placed on exempt list:

CB Chris Claybrooks

Several of these players will be back, in all likelihood, via practice squad deals. Waiver claims process at 11am CT on Wednesday. Free agents can make plans to join P-squads early, but teams will not have the full picture of who is available until the waiver claims process.

Conner and Ollison being off the roster leaves third-round rookie Tank Bigsby, D’Ernest Johnson and Jamycal Hasty in place behind starter Travis Etienne. The Jaguars chose Conner in the 2022 fifth round, and while they traded James Robinson before last year’s deadline, Conner did not receive much work. He totaled 12 carries for 42 yards as a rookie.

Wells returned to Jacksonville earlier this month, but this IR placement will halt a journey back to regular-season work with his initial NFL team. Wells, 32, started nine games for the Jags from 2014-18. He then worked as a key Buccaneers backup over the past several years. Players placed on IR before the season are not eligible for in-season activations, though an injury settlement could allow Wells to play this season.
