The Cowboys had until Tuesday afternoon to trim down their roster by five players.

They apparently made up their minds early.

The club has already informed the five cuts of their fate, according to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News.

Cornerback Kyron Brown, fullback Ryan Nall, tight end Ian Bunting, undrafted rookie wide receiver Ty Fryfogle, and defensive tackle Austin Faoliu will reportedly be cleaning out their lockers.

Only Faoliu was waived outright. Brown, Nall, Bunting, and Fryfogle are being let go, though, with injury designations. If they go unclaimed by another team, they will revert to injured reserve.

The Cowboys technically stand at 86 total players, as offensive lineman Isaac Alarcón does not count toward the official roster due to his international exemption.

The team must get down to 81 players by Aug. 23.

Cowboys lose 2 players to injury in practice vs Broncos

Rookie NT John Ridgeway appeared to suffer a leg injury; TE Ian Bunting took a hard hit on a punt return. Both left the field on their own. | From @ToddBrock24f7

Thursday’s much-anticipated joint practice between the Cowboys and Broncos featured plenty of chippiness, a few minor skirmishes, and two Cowboys players who appear to have suffered injury scares.

Tight end Ian Bunting took a hard shot while blocking on a punt return. According to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News, a cart was driven onto the field, but the undrafted fourth-year man out of Michigan was eventually able to walk off on his own.

Reports after practice reveal that Bunting is dealing with some neck soreness, but X-rays were negative.

Rookie nose tackle John Ridgeway also took a blow during a different portion of work. He looked to sustain some sort of injury to his right leg during the defense’s 11-on-11 period with the Denver offense. He, too, left the practice field under his own power with trainers and headed for the locker room.

The Arkansas lineman came into camp with a nasty reputation and is quickly living up to it. He scuffled with his own teammates this past week in Oxnard.

Both players will reportedly remain under observation from trainers as the Cowboys prepare to play the Broncos on Saturday in the preseason opener for both teams.

Seahawks sign former Cardinals tight end Ian Bunting

According to a report by Ian Rapoport at NFL Network, the team has signed Ian Bunting to take Willson’s place.

The Seattle Seahawks needed another tight end on the roster after the sudden retirement of Luke Willson yesterday.

According to a report by Ian Rapoport at NFL Network, the team has signed Ian Bunting to take Willson’s place.

Bunting (6-foot-7, 252 pounds) played his college ball at California, where he posted 29 catches and 319 yards but no touchdowns. He went undrafted and has spent some time with the Indianapolis Colts and the Arizona Cardinals but hasn’t been in an NFL game as of yet.

He will compete for a spot on the roster with the other tight ends on the bottom end of the depth chart, including Cam Sutton and Tyler Mabry.

Cardinals bring in 5 players for tryout, including QB Cole McDonald

Four of the five players have previously had workouts with the Cardinals.

The league transaction report on Monday showed the Arizona Cardinals brought in speedy receiver Marcus Green for a tryout. He wasn’t the only player they brought in on Monday. According to Tuesday’s transaction report, the Cardinals also brought in five other players on Monday, including four players who have had previous workouts with the team.

Because of league COVID-19 testing protocols, the most likely scenario for these players is a practice squad signing if the Cardinals make the playoffs or simply signing a futures deal for next year as teams can begin to add currently unsigned players to the offseason roster starting next week.

Below are those players.
