We review the different injury designations available to the Cowboys as we enter the second week of camp.
The official Cowboys roster shows the following players with specific injury designations that are keeping them off the active roster:
Active/Non-Football Injury: Mark Nzeocha
Active/Physically Unable to Perform: Rolando McClain, Darren McFadden, Chaz Green
Additionally, the Cowboys have the option of using the Reserve/Injured designation, which they did for Sean Lee at this time last year, and can also use the Reserve/Non-Football Illness designation, which they used for Chris Whaley last year.
Those designations will become an important roster management tool as the Cowboys start trimming their roster. The Cowboys have to reduce their roster to 75 players on September 1st and and further reduce it to 53 players by September 5. So here's a rundown of the different designations:
***SNIP***
The Cowboys had their sixth official practice yesterday, and as heading into the afternoon practice, only four players were not participating (R. McClain, McFadden, Green, Nzeocha). Here's a summary of the players who were out due to various injuries after the sixth practice last year:

With a little bit of luck, the Cowboys will continue to stay below last year's injury totals, and that may make a lot of those injury designations I described above moot. And that would be a good thing.
