What eight defensive linemen make the active roster for week 1 and what 10 linemen make the 53 roster?

Who gets bumped when Gregory and Lawrence return?

I think they keep 9 or 10 to start, depending on CB's, RB's, WR, TE positions too, as to how many they keep. They will say the best 53, not a certain set number at positions though.

T. Crawford, Thornton, Mayowa, Irving, Russell, Tapper, J. Crawford, T. McClain. These are my 8. Collins would be in here, but for now I will have him on PUP.
However I think they go 9, then add Walker, unless Coe shows more. Also add McAdoo if they keep 10.

Who goes when DLaw and Gregory return, as well as Collins.
If 9 or 10 are on the roster, then McAdoo and Walker. However, McClain seems to always have an injury, so he may go or be on IR.
If only keep 8, then McClain and J. Crawford.

I really think they keep at least 9 once it's all settled.
Lawrence, Gregory, T. Crawford, Thornton, Mayowa, Irving, Russell, Tapper, Collins. If a 10th is kept, then McClain if healthy. Coe to PS, possibly McAdoo or Walker.

If Gregory returns, may keep 9.

Collins will be back by camp but I want McClain gone myself so I liked this list. Unless Russell or someone tanks then I see them going 9 out the gate

i hope we pup collins to give him enough recovery time unlike dez.
when collins return, i guess one other person may be released - hopefully practice squad etc.
or injuries may take care of the extra slots

Mcclain will be on the active roster if he's healthy...not sure how or why so many people think he will just be left out...

I think we've almost learned to forget him due to his injuries, etc. You're right though and esp if they PUP Collins.

Cowboys will keep 9 on DL imo.

M. Wilkerson (via trade - if Jerry serious about being Romo friendly) or some other player not yet on roster
T. Crawford
C. Thornton
M. Collins (unless he ends up on IR)
D. Irving
J. Crawford
B. Mayowa
C. Tapper
M. McAdoo

Russell and Coe are PS bound. McClain is odd man out if Collins comes back 100%. Lawrence and Gregory return will displace 2 of these 3: McAdoo, Mayowa, J. Crawford

Do the math. Collins is missing camp.

10 weeks from date of injury is the first week of August. First practice is August 1 give or take a day. Camp goes for weeks and is split between California and Texas. He'll participate in some of camp. Preseason opener is August 13. Last is September 1.

'Math' is done.

Assuming he had surgery immediately. Let me break this to you. Stars get immediate surgery. Third round picks wait.

Even with your optimism timeline, he's out for all of camp.

A big man coming back from a broken foot will be in terrible condition. He can't do the conditioning work with a broken foot. Even given your timeline we are looking at a player who can go more than a down or two in a series. He'd be useless if we had to call on him to take half the snaps. So useless that he's not going to be active
