The Cowboys cut 35 players do get down to the 53-player regular-season roster limit, a list of hopefuls that included their Navajo guard Shiyazh Pete and surprisingly tailback Jaydon Blue.
Starting at 11 a.m. MT/noon CT on Monday, Aug. 31 the Cowboys can sign 16 of these players to their practice squads. They are free agents immediately, so theoretically any team in the league could add them to their 53-player roster or sign them to their practice squads.

Here is who was a final cut, along with those who are projected (PS) as potential practice squad additions.
