Training camp dates have been set for the Dallas Cowboys, with the team heading to Oxnard in late July. Their arrival date for rookies and veterans is July 28 and the first practice is on July 29.The preseason will begin on August 15, with their final game being August 28 against the New Orleans Saints. The roster will need to be trimmed quickly after that, with the deadline for the 53-man roster being August 30 at 6:00 pm EST.Dallas will have some tough decisions to make with their depth chart and here's a look at how their initial 53-man roster could look when they head into Week 1 against the New York Giants.Quarterback (3):Dallas Cowboys QBs Dak Prescott, Sam Howell, and Joe Milton III walk onto the field during practice. | Chris Jones-Imagn ImagesDak PrescottSam HowellJoe MiltonRunning Back (4):Javonte WilliamsJaydon BluePhil MafahHunter LuepkeNotable Cuts: Malik DavisWide Receiver (5):CeeDee LambGeorge PickensRyan FlournoyKaVontae TurpinAnthony SmithNotable Cuts: Jonathan Mingo, Marquez Valdes-ScantlingTight End (3):Jake FergusonBrevyn Spann-FordMichael TriggNotable Cuts: Luke SchoonmakerOffensive Line (9):Tyler GuytonTyler SmithCooper BeebeTyler BookerTerence SteeleDrew SheltonNate ThomasT.J. BassNick LeverettOffensive SummaryDallas Cowboys WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling goes through a drill during practice at the Ford Center. | Chris Jones-Imagn ImagesThe Cowboys go with three quarterbacks here, but it's possible they stick with just two. At this point, it's hard to predict which backup will secure the No. 2 spot, but there's reason to believe in Sam Howell, who isn't as exciting as Joe Milton, but could be more consistent.At running back, Phil Mafah edges out Malik Davis, but the Cowboys would be thrilled to keep Davis on the practice squad for depth. One of the tougher cuts on offense will be at wide receiver, where minicamp star Marquez Valdes-Scantling is left off the roster. He has been solid in offensive sets, but his lack of special teams experience is his undoing.Defensive Line (6):Quinnen WilliamsKenny ClarkOtito OgbonniaJonathan BullardLT OvertonJay ToiaEDGE (6):Dallas Cowboys EDGE Malachi Lawrence goes through a drill during practice at the Ford Center at the Star Training Facility. | Chris Jones-Imagn ImagesRashan GaryDonovan EzeiruakuMalachi LawrenceJames HoustonSam WilliamsCharles SnowdenNotable Cuts: Marist LiufauInside Linebacker (4):Dee WintersDeMarvion OvershownJaishawn BarhamShemar JamesNotable Cuts: Justin BarronCornerback (5):DaRon BlandShavon Revel Jr.Cobie DurantDevin MooreCaelen CarsonNotable Cuts: Reddy Steward, Zion ChildressSafety (5):Caleb DownsJalen ThompsonMalik HookerP.J.

The 2024 third-round pick is a hard-hitter but is being moved from linebacker to EDGE, which doesn't help his chances. That's why he's pushed off the roster by veteran addition Charles Snowden.At linebacker, they go thin with only four. That leaves 2025 undrafted free agent Justin Barron without a spot on the roster. There are also some tough cuts in the secondary, including 2025 camp stars Zion Childress and Alijah Clark.All those notable cuts, as well as cornerback Reddy Steward, would be excellent additions to the practice squad.— Sign up for the Cowboys Daily Digest newsletter for more free coverage from Dallas Cowboys on SI —Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
