Here's the Practice roster

Here it goes.

Danny Amendola. One of the last cuts, could play at Cleveland.
Mike Jefferson. Started the last pre-season game, also could move up to active roster.
Marcus Dixon. Hurt all pre-season, team sees potential.

Rodney Hannah. Four tight ends. Yeah, Hannah is mainly special teams.
Julius Crosslin. Showed an ability to block like a fullback.
Alonzo Coleman. Improved from last season.
Tearrius George. Last pre-season game helped his cause.

Like the 53 man roster, I should preface this practice squad as, FOR NOW!!!

Dixon, Hannah,Crosslin and Jefferson I like, the rest I dont see making it through the year.

Terrius George is on this practice roster because Jerry got cute once again and lost Welden to Kansas City.

Very happy we were able to get Hannah back, I liked his progress over the last year.

Crosslin is on the practice roster just in case Cricket goes down with an injury.

I'd rather have kept Lattimore over Coleman

Marcus Dixon is going to benefit greatly in the teams strength and conditioning program. This kid has alot of upside

I doubt Amendola or Jefferson will be on the practice squad much longer if we acquire another wide out or if Hurd,Stanback and Austin are back soon.

I suspect Bartel will be back unless Dallas signs another backup to the active roster

+1 on Lattimore

I thought he showed a lot more in pre-season than Coleman or Crosslin. Plus he’s got the size that we could work him into a FB role.

"If you don’t take him off the field as a coach, he will just about die out there," Jerry Jones said. "That impacted my decision. It’s a Michael Irvin-type work ethic. That’s what we are talking about with Felix Jones."

What does PS have anything to do with active roster?

I doubt Amendola or Jefferson will be on the practice squad much longer if we acquire another wide out or if Hurd,Stanback and Austin are back soon.

They can still keep both on the PS if those players return. Doesn’t matter. Hurd is not coming back soon. Probably 4 to 6 weeks. Stanback is days away from the IR and Austin probably the end of Sept. I don’t see them going anywhere. If anything they will get elevated to the active roster

Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!
