The big topic when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys these days is upgrading the wide receiver position, in particular, star free-agent Odell Beckham Jr. Well, the Cowboys did make a move to add some weaponry in that area, but on a smaller scale.

On November 11, the Cowboys worked out Antonio Callaway, a former fourth-round pick of the Cleveland Browns out of the University of Florida in 2018. It didn't take long for the speedster to end up with a star on his helmet, as the Cowboys signed Callaway to their practice squad on Tuesday.

The Cowboys have added WR Antonio Callaway and C Brock Hoffman to the practice squad and put Alec Lindstrom (back) on injured reserve and released DE Mika Tafua. Callaway worked out for the team last week and has 53 catches for 695 yards and five touchdowns in his career.

Best known for his game-winning 63-yard touchdown in 2015 as a freshman against Tennessee, where he earned All-American honors from CBS Sports as a return specialist, Callaway made an immediate impact in Cleveland. He played in all 16 games (11 starts) and compiled 586 yards on 43 receptions with five scores.

Life for Callaway in the NFL since his rookie campaign had been tough shedding. Callaway was suspended for the first four games in 2019 for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. After being reinstated, Callaway was waived for being late to practices and meetings and served a 10-game suspension that spilled over into the first three weeks of 2020.

Callaway signed with the practice squad of the Miami Dolphins, but only caught two passes in five games before being waived. In January of 2021, Callaway signed a reserve/future contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. He was waived with an injury designation that August, and was released after reaching an injury settlement.

In all, Callaway hasn't played significant football since December 2020 so getting in football shape and learning the system in Dallas will take some time. However, Callaway can take the top off of a defense and find holes in zone coverage, so it will be interesting to see once he gets acclimated if the Cowboys can find a spot for him.

Expectations for Callaway shouldn't be high by any means, players just don't come out cooking after two years off. For the Cowboys it's a low-risk possible high-reward situation, so they are rolling the dice.
