Cowboys make 5 cuts, including spring FA signing, to get down to 85 players
The Cowboys had until Tuesday afternoon to trim down their roster by five players.
They apparently made up their minds early.
The club has already informed the five cuts of their fate, according to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News.
Cornerback Kyron Brown, fullback Ryan Nall, tight end Ian Bunting, undrafted rookie wide receiver Ty Fryfogle, and defensive tackle Austin Faoliu will reportedly be cleaning out their lockers.
Cowboys must reduce from 90- to 85-man roster by Tuesday at 3 p.m. CT. They are waive-injuring CB Kyron Brown, FB Ryan Nall, TE Ian Bunting and WR Ty Fryfogle and waiving DL Austin Faoliu, people familiar with decisions said. Players told this morning.
Next cut to 80 on Aug. 23.

Only Faoliu was waived outright. Brown, Nall, Bunting, and Fryfogle are being let go, though, with injury designations. If they go unclaimed by another team, they will revert to injured reserve.
The Cowboys technically stand at 86 total players, as offensive lineman Isaac Alarcón does not count toward the official roster due to his international exemption.
The team must get down to 81 players by Aug. 23.
