4 Cowboys Who Will Be Cut by the End of October

3. Jalen Brooks, WR

If the Cowboys are hoping to bolster their WR room this month, they may have to consider moving a wideout to create roster space. If that's the case, Jalen Brooks could be playing with the Cowboys on borrowed time.

A former 2023 seventh-round selection, Brooks has been largely invisible throughout the early part of the 2024 campaign. While the ex-South Carolina WR has already seen more targets (7) than he did as a rookie (6) in three fewer games, he's only caught three of those opportunities (42.9%) for 52 receiving yards.

Brooks spends most of his time on special teams, however, it'd be nice if he took advantage of his limited offensive opportunities. As a result, his snap share is plummeting. He played a season-low eight offensive snaps in Week 4 and wasn't targeted a single time after averaging 2.3 targets in the three previous games.

At the end of the day, Brooks is struggling to look like an NFL receiver and the writing appears to be on the wall. Unless he showcases a complete turnaround in the coming days, there's a decent chance he won't finish the month in Dallas.
