OT Matt Waletzko was put on short-term I/R, and OT Chuma Edoga was resigned to the roster to replace him.
The Cowboys have signed 14 players to their 16 man Practice Squad, including Centers Brock Hoffman and Sean Harlow. They are likely to promote one of them to the Active Roster in week 1 to back-up Tyler Biadasz.
- Hoffman is a 2nd year player that has never started an NFL game. He spent 2022 on the Cowboys’ Practice Squad after being signed as an undrafted free agent and spending training camp with the Cleveland Browns. But he is familiar with the Cowboys’ blocking schemes since he spent training camp with them this season.
- Harlow was drafted in 2017 in the 4th round by the Dan Quinn coached Atlanta Falcons. He spent 4 years bouncing between their 53-man roster and their Practice Squad. He played in only 1 game in 4 seasons with the Falcons. He then spent two years with the Arizona Cardinals, playing in 32 games, and starting 8 games at Center. He has more NFL experience, but is not conversant in the Cowboys offensive scheme.
The Cowboys signed special teams ace C.J. Goodwin to the Practice Squad. Most believe he will be activated to the roster in Week 1, and reprise his normal role as gunner on the Cowboys’ special team. Note that Goodwin was kept out of preseason games, like many veteran players. The Cowboys trust him to be a valuable part of their special teams, and even though he’s starting the year on the Practice Squad, don’t be surprised if he is named the Special Teams captain for Week 1 – showing just how much the Cowboys value him.
