Tuesday’s “final” 53-man roster was never going to actually be the final roster. As expected, Wednesday brought myriad moves as the Cowboys front office utilized all the loopholes and allowable tricks to shuffle the roster even further. A couple high-profile stars moved to injured reserve to allow for an early comeback, while the practice squad was built with many of the players who got bad news just a day prior. The team is moving forward with their only kicker and all backup quarterbacks on the practice squad for now, and all indications are they’re not done finessing the actual “final roster.”
Meanwhile, there may be a new Cowboy riding into town, and he used to be one of the bad guys. A former NFC East foe is set to visit The Star to talk about a job at left tackle… but one of the franchise’s icons says Mike McCarthy hasn’t always been great about helping his tackles out. We’re talking about the impact of rookies on McCarthy teams, looking at the youth movement in Dallas, ranking the triplets on every team in the league, and casting our eyes way ahead at who might be a good first-round pick for the Cowboys in 2023. That’s all up in News and Notes.
