NFL Rumors: Cowboys surprise cut candidate may not be done yet
Kelvin Joseph got some attention as a cut candidate for the Cowboys after the release of the first unofficial depth chart. The third-year cornerback was listed in a reserve role at nickelback, seemingly not even in contention for the No. 3 cornerback spot.

Over at CowboysSI.com, Mike Fischer called out Joseph for “not showing up enough” at cornerback with pressure rising to standout in the first preseason game. Otherwise he might get a good look at the chopping block.
Well, Joseph listened. At least, he received praise from Cowboys Twitter for a solid showing against the Jaguars.
My 1st half observations:

- Damone Clark is going to be a star
- Dowdle 📈 despite fumble
- Tolbert good camp translating
- Oline depth is ISSUE
- Ferguson is comfortably TE1
- Don’t bury Kelvin Joseph just yet@BloggingTheBoys #CowboysNation
Need a lot more plays like that from Kelvin Joseph. Nice PBU there.

There will still be a magnifying glass on Joseph as the preseason continues, but he faced his first test and passed.
