Defensive end Marist Liufau suffered a wrist injury during the Dallas Cowboys’ preseason finale against the New Orleans Saints on Friday night. The injury occurred in the second quarter, with Liufau requiring medical attention on the field before being ruled questionable to return.
Liufau has been competing for a roster spot as the team prepares for upcoming roster cuts. The Cowboys value his contributions on special teams, but the timing of this injury could significantly impact his chances of making the initial 53-man roster that teams must finalize by Sunday.
The severity of the wrist injury remains unclear, and the team will likely evaluate his status in the coming days. With roster decisions looming and multiple players vying for limited spots, any injury to fringe candidates like Liufau adds uncertainty to Dallas’ final roster construction as the preseason concludes.
