53-Man Roster: Week 1 vs. Philly
Here's the first 53-man roster of the regular season as the Cowboys take on the Eagles in Week 1.

1 - Jalen Tolbert, WR, 4th year

2 - Juanyeh Thomas, S, 3rd year

Stride Open
3 - George Pickens, WR, 4th year

4 - Dak Prescott, QB, 10th year

No. 5 – Bryan Anger, Punter - He entered training camp as the Cowboys' most experienced player as he begins his 15th NFL season. He's now second on the list with the arrival of Von Miller (16th season) but Anger is a key member of the special teams, not only as the punter but the holder for kicker Brandon Aubrey.

6 - Donovan Wilson, S, 7th year


9 - KaVontae Turpin, WR, 4th year

10 - Joe Milton, QB, 2nd year

13 - Dante Fowler, DE, 10th Year

No. 14– Markquese Bell, Safety - The Cowboys love Bell's versatility to play safety, linebacker and of course, special teams – making him a consistent option for the game-day roster each week.

17 – Brandon Aubrey, K, 3rd Year

18 – Damone Clark, LB, 4th Year

20 – Kaiir Elam, CB, 4th year

23 – Jaydon Blue, RB, Rookie

24 – Miles Sanders, RB, 7th Year

25 – Trikwese Bridges, CB, Rookie

26 – DaRon Bland, CB, 4th Year

27 - Reddy Steward, CB, 1st Year

28 – Malik Hooker, S, 9th Year

29 – C.J. Goodwin, CB, 10th Year

33 – Javonte Williams, RB, 5th Year

Marist Liufau (OLB, 3rd round, 2024)– It's somewhat surprising that Liufau finds himself on this list before his third pro season. And who knows, he might have enough supporters on the staff and in the building to be off the bubble. He's a good special teams player and while he might be a "tweener" in between edge rusher and linebacker, those guys typically fare well on special teams. Liufau has a shot to make the roster but it's not a given considering the Cowboys have more depth at linebacker and edge rusher.

40 – Hunter Luepke, FB, 3rd Year

41 – Donovan Ezeiruaku, DE, Rookie

44 – Trent Sieg, LS, 8th Year

52 – Tyler Booker, G, Rookie

No. 50– Shemar James, LB - Entering the second year of his NFL career, the former Gator is a tackling machine for the Cowboys, as he was at Florida. James is one of the better special teams players in Dallas who will also be looked upon to make waves on the defensive side of the ball as well.

53 – James Houston, DE, 4th Year

54 – Sam Williams, DE, 4th Year

56 – Cooper Beebe, C, 2nd Year

57 – Jack Sanborn, LB, 4th Year

58 – Mazi Smith, DT, 3rd Year

59 – Kenneth Murray, LB, 6th Year

60 – Tyler Guyton, OT, 2nd Year

66 – T.J. Bass, G, 3rd Year

67 – Brock Hoffman, C/G, 3rd Year

69 – Ajani Cornelius, OT, Rookie

75 – Hakeem Adeniji, OT, 6th Year

76 – Trevor Keegan, OT, 2nd Year

78 – Terence Steele, OT, 6th Year

86 – Luke Schoonmaker, TE, 3rd Year

87 – Jake Ferguson, TE, 4th Year

88 – CeeDee Lamb, WR, 6th Year

89 – Brevyn Spann-Ford, TE, 2nd Year


Who Nose?
With so much discussion circling the weight and utilization of Mazi Smith, it's rookie defensive tackle Jay Toia hoping to make a mark in the run defense, and more. Nobody's wondering if Toia has slimmed down, because he still looks every bit the 342 pounds he weighed entering the 2025 NFL Draft.
Furthermore, he's using it to his advantage in his first-ever training camp. When he's not being double teamed, a rarity, it seems, he's been seen bull rushing a lineman or two all the way back into the lap of the quarterback; and that's a great sign for what Matt Eberflus has planned for his defense. - Patrik Walker

95 – Kenny Clark, DT, 10th Year

97 – Osa Odighizuwa, DT, 5th Year

99 – Perrion Winfrey, DT, 2nd Year
