On September 6th, the Dallas Cowboys have their practice squad locked down, and while predicting who gets called up as tough, some guys on that list are definitely worth watching. Think of it like this, injuries happen and teams need depth. So, who are the players on the Cowboys practice squad who might see some real game time this season? We're looking at guys with versatility, or just pure talent, that can make them the next man up. One name that pops is Tide-N Michael Trick. He had a bit of a rough preseason with an injury, but he showed he can block during training camp. If the Cowboys face any issues that Tide-N, bringing in Trick instead of a free agent makes a lot of sense, especially with his potential as a receiver. Then there's defensive back ready steward. He bounced between nickel and safety during the preseason, and honestly looked like he could have made the main roster. With the Cowboys' depth at safety and cornerback, his ability to play multiple spots means he's likely on speed dial for any defensive needs. Linebacker Justin Barron is another one to keep an eye on.

He was a standout on special teams in college, and the Cowboys could really use that. Their inside linebacker group is a little thin, so Barron could be the guy they turned to for help on special teams, and potentially on defense. Finally, on the offensive line, Wanyu Morris could be a crucial emergency left tackle. With other options being less experienced or needing development, Morris might be the true back-up LT the Cowboys need, if something happens to there. Starters. And don't forget about Senator Nick Levert. His surprising release means he's ready to step in if the team needs depth at that position.
