What happened: Dallas settled a safety roster battle at Sunday's cutdown deadline. The decision came as the club formed its initial roster for the upcoming season.

Why it matters: Wood is exposed to the rest of the league through waivers, creating a risk that Dallas loses him before practice squads are assembled. Clark now has an opportunity to carve out a role in the safety rotation.

By the numbers: Dallas announced 39 moves in reaching the 53-player limit.

What to watch: The waiver window will determine Wood's next stop. Dallas can continue adjusting its initial roster after claims clear.
