Justin Rogers, one of the Cowboys' core special teamers the last two seasons, was waived/injured today. Rogers, an SMU product from Commerce, Texas, has been sidelined by tendinitis in his knee. That ailment also caused him to miss most of OTAs and minicamp. Source: The Dallas Morning News
I did not give this guy much of a chance to make the team but I am surprised by the timing of this move. Dallas has cut a few players earlier than they have to. By count they are at 77 right now. It is not until Tuesday or Wednesday do they have to trim their roster down from 80. Add in the fact that two of their drafts picks are lost for the season they already have a 75 man roster.
