The Cowboys released their second official depth chart of the 2017 season because the NFL requires all teams to do so prior to each preseason game.

Unfortunately, what the league wants and what the league gets can be two completely different things. So if you were hoping that this depth chart was put together by Jason Garrett and his coaching staff after hours of debate and hand wringing, you're bound to be disappointed. The depth chart probably originates from somewhere in the PR department, and if we're lucky, it wasn't some intern who threw this together.`

Be that as it may, it is something the Cowboys have put their name to, and even if you may want to take it with a grain of salt, it is still worth a look. Here's what the full depth chart currently looks like, with returning players marked in green, rookies marked in yellow, and free agent additions marked in orange:

I liked to see the colored chart it helped me think about those last two spots.

Suspensions make the initial cut easier. Is it 4 player suspended for game 1?

It cleary says "unofficial" depth chart.

Zeke, D. Moore, D. Irving currently set for suspensions.

N. Carroll, D. Wilson have yet to be. Those likely won't happen until they have a court decision.

Here is something that is possible. If Switzer does not heal, would be be one of the two, since I believe they can designate 2 players now. for the IR to Return list. Therefore Brown and / or Jones make the 5th and 6th WR's.

What ae the chances T. Crawford is the other one?

Way too many things going on. But still the top 47 is a no brainer, maybe even the top 50.

I'm concerned about Punt Returner. Who does it if Switzer can't play?
