Dallas Cowboys WR Sam Hurd, who declined a pay cut, stuck with the team after final cuts were made, reports Calvin Watkins, of ESPNDallas.com. The team tried to trade him before cuts were due, but decided to keep him instead of releasing him. Hurd said his agent, Ian Greengross, never approached him about taking a pay cut and as far as he knows his $1.759 million salary remains intact.

Dallas Cowboys S Gerald Sensabaugh (shoulder), LB Keith Brooking (shoulder) and DE Marcus Spears (knee) are all expected to be ready to play during Week 1, reports Todd Archer, of The Dallas Morning News. All three returned to practice earlier in the week.
