The Dallas Cowboys are hosting former Carolina Panthers wide receiver Ra’Shaun Henry for a workout on Wednesday, according to NFL reporter Aaron Wilson. The former Virginia standout also worked out with the San Francisco 49ers this week.

Henry was an undrafted free agent after spending two seasons with the Cavaliers. He signed with the Panthers after the draft but didn’t make it through to the regular season. Carolina cut him from the practice squad on Sept. 5.

After graduating from St. Francis, Ra’Shaun Henry transferred to Virginia. In 21 games, he totaled 41 receptions for 809 yards and seven touchdowns.

The speedy 6-foot-3, 190-pound wideout could find a home back in his home state if he lands with the Cowboys. Henry is a Killeen native. Dallas made a move to waive a wide receiver on Tuesday and a spot on the practice squad could be opening up.

Houston played his college ball for Western Illinois and went undrafted this offseason before signing with the Cowboys in May. He played 60 offensive snaps over the first two weeks and caught two passes for 16 yards in the opener.

Dallas has yet to fill the open roster spot. Backup quarterback Will Grier and center Alex Lindstrom were their two weekly practice squad promotions last Sunday, and tight end Sean McKeon is also a candidate for the spot following the injury to Dalton Schultz.

The Cowboys are hopeful Gallup will return to game action for their Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants. Gallup tore his ACL in January at the end of last season and has been working towards a return to action as the expected No. 2 receiver in the Cowboys’ offense.
