It looks as if he could have an expanded role in 2017 and be utilized more in the passing game, maybe even get a carrier or two here and there. Keith Smith has proven to be a valuable asset not only at fullback, but on special teams as well. He likely won’t see very many touches on offense. Rod Smith on the other hand will be a core special-teams player and emergency backup. I imagine the coaching staff will ride the hot hand. McFadden will likely carry the heavier workload, but Morris looks to be running with a renewed energy and burst. I think the Cowboys can survive with out Elliott for a few games, but hopefully #21 is somehow available to suit up for the entire season.

This is the best case scenario for everyone involved. I don’t see any team interested in signing Moore and once he makes it through waivers, the Cowboys can re-sign him to their practice squad. Rush would unlikely make it through waivers if cut, but the same can’t be said about Moore. I decided to go with Cooper Rush as the QB2, because he has without a doubt looked better than Kellen Moore. I’m not sure the Cowboys coaching staff will make the same decision to carry just two QBs on the active roster for the 2017 season, but that’s the way I’m going.ĭak Prescott is the unquestionable leader of this team now and will likely be even better than he was last year. QB Cooper Rush Quarterback (2) Dak Prescott, Cooper Rushįor me, this is an easy decision to make. Please feel free to express what you would do differently, because I know some of you will certainly disagree with me. But, things can change in a hurry.Ĭontinue to reading below to see my prediction for the Dallas Cowboys 53-man roster. Since some of the players haven’t been officially suspended, and may not, I decided to add them to the roster. There are numerous suspensions and possible suspensions that need to be taken into account, which makes predicting the 53-man roster all the more difficult. I thought it would be a great time to share with all of you how I would shape the Cowboys final 53-man roster, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the coaching staff will do the same. The starters for the Dallas Cowboys are unlikely to see any playing time in the fourth and final preseason game, which means the 2017 season is nearly upon us.
