While so much has changed surrounding the health status of the Dallas Cowboys’ roster over the past week, it isn’t being reflected in their roster decisions for their Week 5 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. Dallas will finally have their full compliment of offensive linemen, but despite still being short-handed against the New England Patriots the club didn’t elevate any OL to the active roster last week. Instead they worried about their tight end and linebacker depth.
It’s funny, as entering the season those were the three biggest depth-related question marks and they’ve been the story of the injury report throughout the first quarter of the season. Low and behold, in Week 5 the club is once again elevating a linebacker and a tight end to give them some extra warm bodies for this crucial matchup on Sunday Night Football. Here’s a rundown of the 53-man roster, and the two elevations.
Quarterbacks (3)
Running Backs (4)
Wideouts (6)
Tight Ends (4)
Offensive Tackles (3)
Offensive Guards (4)
Centers (2)
Defensive Ends (5)
