The Dallas Cowboys are apparently in need of wide receiver help. Short two players expected to make the 53-man roster at the position, Dallas is looking outside the organization for a bit of a boost.
The 90-man roster had 14 wide receivers on it, allowing multiple passes through the chart as reps have been distributed throughout the first three days of training camp practice. The lead dog, All-Pro CeeDee Lamb, has been missing however, as a training camp holdout keeps him away from his teammates. Rookie Ryan Flournoy is hobbled with a knee tweak, bringing the rotation down to 12.
Apparently needing some fresh legs, or maybe just better alternatives, Dallas worked out three wideouts on Saturday, signing Deontay Burnett and Kelvin Harmon.
