The Dallas Cowboys have a serious roster BATTLE brewing, and Michael Trigg and Camden Brown are making it increasingly difficult for the coaching staff to ignore them. As Dallas Cowboys training camp rolls on, young and undrafted playmakers are fighting for their NFL futures—and a few could become legitimate weapons for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense in 2026. James Duncan breaks down the rise of Michael Trigg and Camden Brown and why their performances could shake up the Cowboys’ final 53-man roster. With Jake Ferguson established at tight end, Trigg’s emergence creates an intriguing competition behind him and puts additional pressure on former second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker. Could Dallas choose production and upside over draft pedigree when making its final roster decisions? The competition at wide receiver could be just as fascinating. Camden Brown continues fighting for his opportunity while seventh-round pick Anthony Smith and other young Cowboys receivers battle for limited roster spots behind stars CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Every catch, touchdown and training camp rep matters when the difference between making the Cowboys roster and being cut can come down to just a handful of plays. Michael Trigg or Camden Brown—which Cowboys underdog has the best chance to make the 53-man roster? Could Anthony Smith steal the final wide receiver spot? And could one of these overlooked young players eventually become a difference-maker when Dallas needs additional weapons late in the season?
