Cowboys' 53-man roster projection goes light at RB, heavy on linemen

The Dallas Cowboys will open the season with a new coach, Mike McCarthy; a quarterback, Dak Prescott, who is once again playing for a contract; and the usual expectations of a deep playoff run. The new-look Cowboys open the season Sept. 13 on the road against the Los Angeles Rams.

The roster will be cut to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET Saturday. Here is a projection:


QUARTERBACK (3): Prescott, Andy Dalton, Ben DiNucci

The Cowboys don't need to keep three quarterbacks, but because of the coronavirus pandemic, it might serve the team the best -- at least at the start of the season.
