Overview

• Dallas projections from Blogging The Boys outline a 53 that locks in Dak Prescott and Joe Milton at quarterback and favors rookie Phil Mafah over veteran Miles Sanders, with Sanders potentially landing on the practice squad.
• The interior defensive line remains unsettled in Dallas as Perrion Winfrey is pegged to make the team, Mazi Smith is projected as a surprise cut, and an outside veteran nose tackle addition is anticipated.
• A crowded Cowboys edge group fuels predictions of trades to rebalance depth, with Sam Williams and Saahdiq Charles mentioned as possible chips and James Houston competing for a spot after a strong preseason.
• Wideout Traeshon Holden and tight end Luke Schoonmaker are flagged as vulnerable despite offseason flashes, with Holden viewed as a practice-squad target if numbers squeeze him off the initial 53.
• The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane projects the Eagles to carry Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee, and rookie Kyle McCord at quarterback, with further tweaks expected as teams navigate waivers and practice-squad moves after the deadline.
