The Dallas Cowboys have set their initial 53 man roster, and signed ten players to their practice squad. There may be some significant changes to those by the time you read this as well, but we have been pretty focused on the process of getting to those 63 names; however, there is one other element used in managing the roster that is worth a look at. That is injured reserve.
Currently, the Cowboys have five players who were placed on injured reserve prior to the roster cuts, according to the roster at DallasCowboys.
