Monday:
- With the 53-man roster cuts coming this week, Nick Eatman discussed what positions still had questions that needed to be answered, and what could be potential solutions. But remember, the initial 53-man roster will likely not be the one that the Cowboys open with on Sept. 11 against the Bucs. **[Eatman on positions that still need answers**]
Tuesday:
- Owner/GM Jerry Jones talked with 105.3 "The Fan" on Tuesday over a myriad of topics on Tuesday morning. Of those topics included the recovery of wide receiver Michael Gallup as he continues to comeback from ACL surgery. "About a month ago, Gallup told reporters back in Oxnard, Calif. that Week 1 against the Bucs was not realistic. And while that seems to be the case, his actual return doesn't appear to be too far off," Nick Eatman explains. **[Jones: Gallup Plays If Super Bowl Was On Sept. 11**]
- Jones also talked about the possible replacements at the left tackle spot with the news of Tyron Smith's injury, saying it is "safe to say" that rookie Tyler Smith will be starter at the stone come Week 1 against the Buccaneers. Rob Phillips had that and more Stephen Jones righthere.
- Tuesday served as the deadline around the NFL for teams to cut their rosters down to 53 players, and the Cowboys were no exception by making 28 moves. You can get the full breakdown on the moves made from Rob Phillips here. **[Cowboys Make 28 Moves to Reach Roster Limit**]
