While attention is firmly on the Week 1 victory by the Dallas Cowboys over the New York Giants on Sunday night, a pool of players continue to work hard almost unnoticed. Days after the announcement of the 53-man roster, the Cowboys added to their practice squad. Effectively these players are free agents, able to be signed onto any teams active roster.
The Cowboys practice squad is heavy with offensive talent. A duo of receivers and quarterbacks are included, with fifty percent of the squad rookies. Here’s the ten players:
- Kellen Moore – Quarterback
- Jameill Showers – Quarterback
- Gus Johnson – Running back
- Vince Mayle – Wide receiver
- Rodney Smith – Wide receiver
- John Wetzel – Tackle
- Dakorey Johnson – Linebacker
- Joe Thomas – Linebacker
- Deji Olatoye – Cornerback
- Tim Scott – Safety
To have a future with the Cowboys, these players could be relying on the misfortune of others.
