The Dallas Cowboys have a ROSTER PROBLEM—and it might actually be a good one. Jonathan Mingo and Camden Brown are making increasingly strong cases to survive final roster cuts, while Michael Trigg’s toe injury has created a completely different dilemma at tight end. On this episode of Locked On Cowboys Hit Podcast, host James Duncan breaks down one of the toughest decisions facing the Cowboys as Dallas approaches its final 53-man roster. Jonathan Mingo made his case against the Arizona Cardinals with a dynamic performance that included 62 receiving yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Camden Brown has continued stacking impressive preseason performances after emerging as one of the biggest surprises of Cowboys training camp. Now Dallas has to find room for everybody. CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens headline the Cowboys wide receiver room, while Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin also have established roles. But if Mingo and Brown continue producing, can Dallas really afford to cut either one? That's where the Cowboys roster math gets complicated. Keeping six wide receivers takes a valuable roster spot away from another position. Cutting one could mean watching a promising young playmaker get claimed by another NFL team. And if Dallas tries to trade someone before final cuts, is a late-round NFL Draft pick really worth sacrificing valuable offensive depth? Then there’s Michael Trigg. Trigg emerged as one of the most exciting undrafted players in Cowboys camp, but a toe injury has halted his momentum at the worst possible time. With Jake Ferguson leading the tight end room and Brevyn Spann-Ford and Luke Schoonmaker also competing for roles, Dallas has another difficult roster decision to make. Could the Cowboys use injured reserve as part of their plan for Trigg? And how much could an injury derail an undrafted rookie who appeared to be forcing his way into the conversation? That's the brutal reality of NFL roster cuts. Established stars can survive missed practices and preseason games. Roster-bubble players don't always have that luxury. Cowboys Nation, you make the call: If Dallas can only keep ONE between Jonathan Mingo and Camden Brown, who are you taking? Or have BOTH played well enough to force the Cowboys to keep six wide receivers?
