The Dallas Cowboys signed a new receiver to their practice squad on Tuesday, bringing in former Cleveland and Miami wideout Antonio Callaway. Callaway began his career with Cleveland as a fourth-round draft pick out of Florida, but has not appeared in an NFL game since the 2020 season with the Dolphins.

Dallas brought in Callaway to work out for the team last week, and made the decision to bring him onto the practice squad. Callaway attended the Indianapolis Colts rookie minicamp prior to the season, but has not been on a team roster since 2021 with the Kansas City Chiefs. After being cut by the Chiefs in August 2021, Callaway has been a free agent ever since.

Callaway suffered a major setback in his career on the field during his time with the Browns, where he was suspended 10 games after violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Through 25 career games and 14 starts in the NFL, Callaway has caught 53 passes for 695 yards and five touchdowns.

The Cowboys released defensive end Mika Tafua, making room for the signing of Callaway. Additionally on Tuesday, Dallas moved rookie center Alec Lindstrom to injured reserve and signed center Brock Hoffman in his place.
