The first wave of cuts has begun.
The Dallas Cowboys have made the first roster cuts to get down to the 75 man roster limit that they have to meet Tuesday (September 1st). There are not any real surprises in the first five names to be announced as the team is paring away players who had little to no chance of making the 53 man roster
Cowboys start process of cut to 75: WR Phil Bates, P Tom Hornsey, CB Robert Steeples, LS Casey Kreiter, DT Carliff Taylor.

Hornsby and Kreiter probably knew from the beginning that they had no real chance to make the team as specialists.
