What happened: Cowboys outside linebacker Marist Liufau is scheduled to have surgery as early as Monday on a fractured left forearm. He suffered the injury in Friday's preseason finale against the Saints, per Adam Schefter, with additional reporting from Todd Archer.

Why it matters: The injury lands as Dallas works through roster cutdown following Friday's finale, leaving a question mark at outside linebacker for final 53-man decisions. Jon Machota reported the injury is not considered season-ending.

What to watch: Watch for confirmation of Monday's surgery and how Dallas adjusts its linebacker depth as the roster cutdown deadline nears.
