Schottenheimer said that all of the players on the team were ready to play for the Cowboys, and that made cutting them difficult than he potentially anticipated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese guys bought in,\u201d said Schottenheimer. \u201cIt was hard to sit down in front of them and tell them the why.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"px-5 pb-5 lg:px-0\">\n<div class=\"min-h-[432px] max-w-full rounded-xl border bg-white p-4 md:min-h-[366px]\">\n<div class=\"space-y-2\">\n<div class=\"cursor-pointer font-secondary px-4 py-2 rounded-md transition border bg-[#F7F6FD] border-transparent hover:border-gray-300 flex items-center justify-between\"><strong>Defensive End<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Cowboys cut 32 players from the roster ahead of Tuesday&#8217;s 4 p.m. EST deadline. Brian Schottenheimer and the coaching staff also sent \u00a0Jonathan Mingo, Payton Turner to the IR, while DeMarvion Overshown, Josh Butler were put on the PUP list. Additionally, Shavon Revel Jr. was put on the NFI reserve list, and Asim Richards was traded to the New Orleans Saints. All of those moves bring the Cowboys roster to 53 players, which is the required limit for all 32 teams in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Micah Parsons remains on the active roster despite not participating in training camp or in any preseason games due to holding in for a new contract extension. It&#8217;s been an ongoing storyline for the franchise as contract negotiations haven&#8217;t been all that smooth. But the Cowboys and some of his teammates seem confident\u00a0he&#8217;ll eventually agree to a deal.<\/p>\n<p>With the 53-man roster set, all eyes remain on Parsons. While the front office continues to find a resolution with the disgruntled star, Brian Schottenheimer and the Cowboys will focus on playing the Eagles on Thursday, September 4.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose flex w-full flex-col divide-y divide-solid divide-[#58585820] bg-[#FAFAFA] py-2\">\n<div class=\"hide-scrollbar flex w-full flex-col md:max-w-[980px]\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center px-4\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col border-b-4 border-primary-accent pb-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer makes an admission about how difficult it is to make final roster cuts.
