3 Cowboys on the Bubble Who Have Clinched Their 53-Man Roster Spots
By Tyler Maher
3. Markquese Bell
To round out our list, we have another second-year player who's looking to make some noise after a quiet rookie season.
Bell finished with just 1 tackle last year, as he found it hard to break into Dallas' loaded depth chart at safety. That's still the case this year, even though Bell has been playing well at backup safety.
Fortunately, Bell has also been getting some reps at linebacker and could fit in on the second tea, there. He'll benefit from DeMarvion Overshown’s injury, too, which should free up even more playing time in the linebacker room.
To his credit, Bell has shown a willingness to move around the field and play whatever position is asked of him. That type of versatility and flexibility is crucial for fringe players if they want to make the team, and Bell seems to understand that.
He may be a safety by trade, but if playing linebacker gets him a spot on the team, that's where he'll play.
