The Cowboys waived G Kadeem Edwards and DT Brian Price to make room for claiming S Ibraheim Campbell and C Adam Redmond off waivers, team announced. #cowboyswire
Of the 39 waiver claims made across the league today, the Giants had the most (6) followed by Cleveland (5). Obviously helps to be high in the waiver order. Tougher sledding for teams like Dallas trying to upgrade this way. #cowboyswire
It’s been a few hours and I’m still shocked by what happened with Dan Bailey. All we can do is speculate but it just never seemed like it was a true competition. Not sure what Bailey did to lose his job. #cowboyswire
This has to be the most surprising cut day in recent memory.
Cowboys opted to cut 5 of their former draft picks (Tapper, DJax, Bo, Marquez & Chaz), 3 vets that they felt good about this spring (Kony Ealy, Jihad Ward, Deonte Thompson). And their best-ever kicker. #cowboyswire
Brett Maher made 4 of 5 FGs in preseason games and did a nice job in camp. But aside from a couple of shaky practices the first week in Oxnard, Dan Bailey was solid and struck the ball well. Waiving him is indeed a surprise. #cowboyswire
Reminder how this weekend works, now that teams are actually releasing players:
Most of these cuts are going to be subject to the waiver system, which means the Cowboys can’t just call somebody. They’d have to make a claim, then hope no one ahead of them makes one. #cowboyswire
The Cowboys have lost, 14-6, to the Texans in a game that I will remember very little about. They’re 0-4 for the preseason, which matters not even the smallest amount. The real stuff starts this weekend, when the roster goes from 90 to 53 #cowboyswire
Zeke Elliott hasn't gotten any preseason reps but says he's ready for the season. “This is the most comfortable I have felt in this offense. I believe I have had a great camp and enough reps that I’m ready to play. I’m excited to get back out there on the field.” #cowboyswire
Undoubtedly, you’ve seen the reports about Charvarius Ward. He started this game in uniform, but he just came out for the second half in warmups. #cowboyswire
Halftime: Texans 7, Cowboys 3. Cooper Rush: 14 of 25, 83 yards 2 interceptions, including a Hail Mary that got picked off on the final play of the half. Mike White likely to get the second-half work at QB. #cowboyswire
Former Cowboys QB Brandon Weeden under heavy pressure these last two plays. DT Daniel Ross credited with a sack. He's played well lately with more reps. #cowboyswire
I said last week that Brett Maher has looked great this preseason, and a 57-yard FG only emphasizes that. I have to believe he'll get a call or two from a kicker needy team at some point in the next month #cowboyswire
Things that resemble football starting to happen here. Big group of the Cowboys’ veterans, most of whom are unlikely to play tonight, came out for cardio. Pregame warmups mostly populated by younger players right now. #cowboyswire
Xavier Woods doing some on-field rehab and conditioning ahead of tonight’s game. Jerry Jones said this week the goal is Week 2, if not Week 1 #cowboyswirepic.twitter.com/FKtP0qvmF1
In order to keep him eligible for 2018, Travis Frederick has to be on the initial 53-man roster this weekend. Beyond that, Cowboys haven’t decided what to do w/ him.
Frederick could be placed on IR with the possibility of returning, or they could carry him on the 53 #cowboyswire
Stephen Jones says the Cowboys like the guys currently on their roster, but he adds that they aren’t naive. They’ll be on the lookout for help this weekend — particularly along the OL and at safety #cowboyswire
At the Dallas Cowboys Kickoff Luncheon today, Jaylon Smith accepted the Ed Block Courage Award for his recovery and return from injury last season. #cowboyswire
Jaylon Smith just had a PBU on a 30-yard seam route from Dak to Dalton Schultz. His coverage ability down the field has been really impressive #cowboyswire
And there's Zack Martin in team drills at RG for the first time since hurting his knee in the second preseason. No trouble moving to the second level on a Zeke run. #cowboyswire
To make room for signing offensive linemen, T Matthew Diaz and G Kyle Bosch, the Cowboys waived C Dustin Stanton and WR Ricky Jeune. Stanton injured his knee against the Cardinals on Sunday. #cowboyswire
Head coach Jason Garrett said C Travis Frederick (Guillain-Barré syndrome) has returned to meetings and taken part in some workouts. Still no timetable for his return. He’s at practice today watching. #cowboyswire
He’s doing conditioning and rehab work. I don’t think it’s a major issue, just the usual precautions with a soft tissue injury #cowboyswirehttps://t.co/a2NWGuCDQc
Jason Garrett doesn’t anticipate that Leighton Vander Esch will play Thursday night, as he’s still recovering from his groin injury. Cowboys are hopeful he can practice soon #cowboyswire
Jerry Jones doesn’t think Xavier Woods will be ready in time for Week 1 @ Carolina. He’s hopeful to have him back for Week 2 vs. the Giants #cowboyswire
On @1053thefan, Stephen Jones acknowledges that offensive line and safety depth continue to be spots the team must keep an eye on. Xavier Woods is a question mark for Week 1 and Travis Frederick’s return date is unknown at this point. #cowboyswire
Stephen Jones, talking to @1053thefan about Randy Gregory. "Right now, we don't know anything" about potential trouble. But he does point out that teams are not on the inside of the league's process. #cowboyswire
Love this quote from Sean Lee about how good the Cowboys’ starting defense has looked — and how much that’s worth at this point in the year #cowboyswirepic.twitter.com/yFjcnedDLZ
Jerry Jones was just asked several questions about Randy Gregory’s current status with the league. He reiterated his stance that Gregory is facing a daily challenge to keep on track, but Jones does expect to have him available for Week 1 #cowboyswire
This was undoubtedly a horrifically awful game of football, particularly from the Dallas offense.
But the Cowboys got useful tape to watch on their young players. And they got over the final preseason hurdle with no major injuries. That’s A-OK with me. #cowboyswire
The Dallas cornerbacks really seem to be putting together a nice game. Chido looked great in the beginning, while Lewis and Ward have been jumping out often during these middle quarters. A nice positive for a unit that hadn't been great in the other games. #cowboyswire
Love DJax's versatility. And he just seems to have this sort of "pop" to him when he's got the ball. Definitely something to watch these next six days #cowboyswirehttps://t.co/Zf0R4zeTXi
Worth noting that Kavon Frazier watched that possession from the sideline without his helmet. Not sure the severity of the injury, but it seems doubtful that he'd return to the field #cowboyswire
Really encouraged by blocks from both Joe Looney and Kadeem Edwards in those last few plays. That, to me, is way more important than what Cooper Rush and Lance Lenoir are doing. Cowboys need both of those guys to be good to help them get through 72's absence #cowboyswire
I could have Bill Parcells, Jimmy Johnson and Bill Belichick sit me down for hours and explain why Tavon Austin should slide inside and block the edge, and I won't ever agree with them. #Cowboyswire
Whoa. That was a really encouraging block from Joe Looney, getting to the second level to spring Rod Smith. Didn't know Jumbo Joe could move like that #cowboyswire
Those are the first points that the Cowboys' first unit has "surrendered" in the preseason. Obviously, I'm not going to hold that against an impressive effort by the defense. #cowboyswire
Seriously, what else needs to happen? This safety situation reminds me of the snooze button. Every 10 minutes you get a reminder that you NEED TO GET UP! #Cowboyswire
Kavon Frazier looking really impressive through the first two series of this game ... right up until he appears to be injured on the play. Looked ok walking off the field, but the trainers are looking at him #cowboyswire
Two starting offensive linemen are in the lineup tonight: Connor Williams and La'el Collins. Collins had a minor calf issue earlier in the week. #cowboyswire
Four captains for Dallas tonight -- 4, 98, 50 and 5.
Travis Frederick is the logical choice to be the Cowboys' 2nd offensive captain, but I wonder if they'll elect someone else if he is unavailable for the start of the season. #cowboyswire
DeMarcus Lawrence and Tyrone Crawford getting some snaps in pre-game walkthrough. And it looks like Justin March-Lillard is doing the work at WLB with Sean Lee sitting out and LVE sidelined by that groin injury #cowboyswire
Dak & Zeke sitting out isn't exactly surprising if you've been following along this week. Makes no sense to throw them out there if Tyron, Travis & Zack aren't playing. #cowboyswire
Mike White has made some really pretty throws today. Just had a really nice completion to newly-signed WR Dres Anderson on a deep ball. Anderson made a fantastic dive to come down with the catch #cowboyswire
Yikes, Dakota. Looked for Ricky Jeune on a corner route, but he had two DBs underneath him and one over the top. An easy interception for Anthony Brown #cowboyswire
Michael Gallup is such a damn stud. Another fantastic grab in team reps, fighting off Chido Awuzie and Tyree Robinson on a stumbling, 40-yard touchdown from Dak Prescott #cowboyswire
Crazy fact. Zack Martin told us today that his reps against the Bengals the other night were the first game reps of his entire career where he wasn't lined up next to Travis Frederick. That's crazy continuity for two NFL offensive linemen #cowboyswire
The thought of not playing next to Travis Frederick for the time being is odd to Zack Martin. Been on the field with him virtually every snap since 2014. But Martin said repeatedly there’s a lot of confidence in Joe Looney to fill in. #cowboyswire
