Now free to rent vets, Cowboys change 53-man roster just at RB, not defense
Dallas had a rough go on Sunday night, but they aren't making any new defensive additions despite the loosening of rules for Week 2.
The Dallas Cowboys made a roster change on Tuesday, signing running back Tyler Goodson from the Atlanta Falcons' practice squad while releasing Israel Abanikanda. The Cowboys' Week 1 performance against the Giants was disappointing, especially on defense, with little pressure on quarterback Jaxson Dart and a linebacker group that appeared unchanged since the previous season.
Despite the disappointing start, the Cowboys opted not to make significant moves at the defensive positions, focusing instead on adding Goodson to their roster. Goodson will be in Dallas for at least three weeks, and Abanikanda was left off the game-day roster after being promoted to the 53-man roster following Malik Davis' injury.
The Cowboys' 53-man roster and practice squad remain largely unchanged, with notable players such as QB Dak Prescott, WR George Pickens, and safety PJ Locke still on the active roster.
