IRVING, Texas – The Cowboys made the first five of 14 projected cuts on Monday afternoon, as they prepare to meet the NFL’s 75-man roster limit on Sept. 1.
The team parted ways with Tom Hornsey, Casey Kreiter, Robert Steeples, Phil Bates and Carlif Taylor to begin the roster-trimming process. The Cowboys have actually been one man short of the 90-man roster limit for the past week, so the five cuts drop them down to 84 current players.
