The Cowboys have released the first 3 of their 11 cuts today. As reported by Tim Macmahon on twitter.

The Turk is making the rounds in the Valley Ranch locker room. QB Nick Stephens, OG Dennis Godfrey, LB Deon Lacey got visits so far. — Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) August 27, 2013

Mike Fisher adds a 4th name to the list, TE Colin Cochart

Cut-day #cowboys heading to Garrett office: G Godfrey, QB Stephens, TE Cochart @1053thefan. — Mike Fisher (@fishsports) August 27, 2013

Stephens' release means that everyone's favorite UDFA QB, Alex Tanney, will probably play every snap in the final pre-season game against the Houston Texans, meaning they aren't trying to hide Tanney's talents from the rest of the league.

That's 4 down and 7 more to go to meet the 3 PM Central time Dead line to trim the roster to 75 players.

Who will be next?

[UPDATE] Next is WR Eric Rogers, via Tom Orsborn:
