After much speculation and several fingers crossed throughout the fanbase, the Dallas Cowboys made their decision on the 53-man roster on Tuesday. There were some expected names to make the team, such as Trey Lance, despite having an erratic close to the preseason with a five-interception performance against the Los Angeles Chargers. The team also made tough decisions and cut ties with players they had drafted or players who flashed throughout the preseason.
For example, last year’s fourth-round pick Viliami Fehoko and undrafted free agent safety Julius Wood were released Tuesday. Fehoko’s release is somewhat surprising, yet the team made several acquisitions along the defensive line interior including Jordan Phillips and Linval Joseph, so Fehoko’s release could’ve been telegraphed.
