NFL teams officially set their initial 53-man rosters Tuesday. What’s next for teams like the Dallas Cowboys?
Based on what head coach Mike McCarthy said after the roster trimming deadline, the team still has some work to do before it can fully focus on its season opener at the New York Giants. One of the remaining tasks includes building a 16-player practice squad.

To join NFL practice squads, a few players will have to clear waivers. Here’s a look at some of the players Dallas could be interested in adding to its practice squad:
