The Dallas Cowboys' initial 53-man roster is set. The NFL roster cut deadline on Tuesday, August 26, has come and gone, and now the initial gameday roster for the Week One opener against the division rival, Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles is set.

Tomorrow, there could be some last-minute tweaks as players pass through waivers and practice squads are set, so we will have to keep an eye on the waiver wire for the next 24 hours.

Among the standouts and fan favorites who heard good news on Tuesday were former first-round pick Mazi Smith, All-UFL standout Perrion Winfrey, standout UDFA defensive back Zion Childress, and preseason star James Houston.

Now that the Cowboys' 53-man roster is set, we can look at the breakdown position-by-position to see who made the cut. Did your favorite player or darkhorse candidate get the good news?
