These three players need to be on the 53-man roster, or the Dallas Cowboys would be unlikely to retain them on the practice squad for the 2025 NFL season.

Cornerback C.J. Goodwin will end up on the game-day roster for the opener against the Eagles as the Cowboys look to stash him on the practice squad to keep a spot open on the 53-man roster at the final cuts.

The Eagles must decide how they’ll manage wide receiver Johnny Wilson’s season-ending injury to his knee and ankle. They must also decide who, within a crowded offensive line, they’ll keep to partly reinforce a Pro Bowl-laden unit that’s counting on starting left guard Landon Dickerson’s swift return from a minor procedure on his knee.
