After a competitive training camp in Oxnard, CA, the Dallas Cowboys are back in Texas. After concluding the preseason with a 31-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons, the Cowboys have begun trimming their roster to 53 players for Week 1. Some cuts were announced yesterday, with notable players such as La’el Collins being released. Yet another cut was made today that is sure to raise eyebrows at the least if not fists.
Traeshon Holden showed a lot of promise in the summer and had several highlight moments during the open practices in California. Once he found his groove, Holden created a connection with quarterback Joe Milton and was showing a penchant for finding the end zone and making difficult catches.
However, the success he had at practice was not consistent during games. Despite a highlight catch during the first preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams, Holden didn’t replicate the same playmaking over the next two games and was held without a catch against the Baltimore Ravens. For the preseason, Holden had four receptions for 62 yards.
Some of that falls on Holden, but some falls on the Joe Milton-led offense not finding its stride in the passing game until the final game of the preseason. With Holden being waived, the hope is that he can somehow find his way back to the Cowboys on the practice squad, but he will have to make it through waivers first. Holden’s being subjected to waivers also raises the question of what other receivers made the cut, which will be determined later this afternoon.
