Cowboys 53-man roster prediction as camp moves to Week 2

August 1, 2024

The Dallas Cowboys have finally donned the pads, moving on to the second phase of 2024 training camp. There’s been a handful of roster changes, most notably DE Sam Williams tearing his ACL and Gareon Conley being released. The team has brought in three new players in Deontay Burnett, Kelvin Harmon and Kemon Hall. Do they have a realistic shot of making the roster, or are they camp bodies?

Williams’ injury certainly opens the door and a huge question mark. Who can be that type of player in his absence? Dallas has a few weeks left of camp before the exhibition games happen. Here’s our latest projection of who will make the 53-man roster and 16-player practice squad once training camp settles.
