Dallas Cowboys Finalize 53-Man Roster for 2025 NFL Season

The Dallas Cowboys have finalized their 53-man roster for the 2025 NFL season, meeting the league's deadline on Tuesday. Key players making the team include defensive end Justin Houston, rookie cornerback Zion Childress, and defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey, who was a surprise inclusion after initial reports suggested he would be cut. The defensive tackle and cornerback positions remain areas of concern, with the Cowboys expected to pursue additional moves to strengthen these units, especially to support run defense. Veteran players C.J. Goodwin and Will Grier are anticipated to re-sign shortly, potentially in exchange for Phil Mafah and Caelen Carson. The Cowboys are now focused on the regular season, opening against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 4, 2025. Despite the finalized roster, ongoing adjustments are likely as the team addresses identified weaknesses.
