The Dallas Cowboys finished the preseason with a record of 2-1 after losing their finale to the New Orleans Saints. Even in that defeat, they showed plenty of heart as they fought back from a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter to tie things up.Now, with their preseason over, the Cowboys must turn their attention to the roster. They will have some tough decisions to make as they trim down to their 53-man roster, and there will be some preseason stars left without a spot.While they have until Sunday to decide, let's check out one final prediction of which players will remain with the Cowboys entering Week 1 of the regular season.Quarterback (3):Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott looks on before the game against the New Orleans Saints. | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectDak PrescottSam HowellJoe MiltonRunning Back (4):Javonte WilliamsMalik DavisJaydon BlueHunter LuepkeNotable Cuts: Phil Mafah, Israel AbanikandaWide Receiver (6):Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Camden Brown makes a catch against the New Orleans Saints. | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectCeeDee LambGeorge PickensRyan FlournoyKaVontae TurpinJonathan MingoCamden BrownNotable Cuts: Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Anthony SmithTight End (3):Jake FergusonBrevyn Spann-FordLuke SchoonmakerNotable Cuts: Michael TriggOffensive Line (9):Tyler GuytonTyler SmithCooper BeebeTyler BookerTerence SteeleDrew SheltonNate ThomasT.J. BassNick LeverettNotable cuts: Trevor Keegan, Ajani CorneliusOffensive SummaryDallas Cowboys quarterback Joe Milton III warms up before the game against the New Orleans Saints. | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectJoe Milton locked up the QB2 spot and it's tempting to go with two quarterbacks. The Cowboys decide not to do that, but could look to get something for Sam Howell in a trade.At running back, Malik Davis locks up the No. 2 spot but Jaydon Blue will get plenty of opportunities as well. The Cowboys go six deep at receiver, with Camden Brown proving himself worthy of a spot. Michael Trigg has been a threat to Luke Schoonmaker, but in the end, Dallas keeps the veteran who they have more faith in than the rookie.The offensive line is interesting with Nate Thomas and Drew Shelton as the backup tackles. The Cowboys could use a veteran there since neither has been wildly impressive. That's not true for the interior line as T.J. Bass and Nick Leverett have been performing very well and can play guard and center.Defensive Line (5):Quinnen WilliamsKenny ClarkOtito OgbonniaJonathan BullardLT OvertonNotable Cuts: Jay ToiaEDGE (6):Dallas Cowboys linebacker Von Miller looks on in the second half against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium. | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectRashan GaryDonovan EzeiruakuVon MillerMalachi LawrenceJames HoustonSam WilliamsIR: Marist LiufauInside Linebacker (4):DeMarvion OvershownJaishawn BarhamDee WintersShemar JamesNotable Cuts: Curtis Robinson, Langston Patterson, Justin BarronCornerback (5):Dallas Cowboys cornerback Cobie Durant at training camp at River Ridge Playing Fields. | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectDaRon BlandShavon Revel Jr.Cobie DurantDevin MooreAmeer SpeedNotable Cuts: Caelen Carson, Zion Childress, Reddy StewardSafety (5):Caleb DownsJalen ThompsonMalik HookerP.J.

The depth behind them could be better, but LT Overton has been impressive in the preseason and could be a surprise contributor.Dallas goes with six players on the edge, which leaves them thin at inside linebacker. That's a tough call, but they should be able to get Justin Barron and Curtis Robinson on the practice squad as well. Sam Williams makes it after a strong second half on Friday, while Marist Liufau hits the IR after fracturing his forearm.At cornerback, they keep Ameer Speed ahead of Caelen Carson after Speed impressed throughout camp. At safety, Julius Wood is left off the roster, which is going to be one of the toughest cuts.— 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
