The Dallas Cowboys continue to make roster moves ahead of their Week 15 meeting with the Los Angeles Rams, in hopes that a little fine-tuning here and some minor tweaking there will be enough to fuel a late-December push to the postseason.
The latest addition to the club is wide receiver Cyril Grayson, according to reports. This practice squad signing comes in the wake of Cedrick Wilson’s injury sustained in the final minute of play against the Bears on December 5. Wilson had to be assisted off the field after attempting to haul in a Dak Prescott pass and ultimately left the stadium on crutches.
Cowboys are signing WR Cyril Grayson to practice squad, source said. More speed and depth at position with WR Cedrick Wilson (knee) likely out for season. Grayson was a four-time NCAA track champion at LSU. Spent training camp with Saints.

A seven-time All-American on the track, Grayson ran a 4.33 forty at LSU’s Pro Day in spring 2017, according to RotoWorld. Despite not playing football in college, he talked his way into participating in the same pro day as Leonard Fournette and Jamal Adams. It’s an incredible story that ended with him being offered a contract by Seattle 72 hours later, even though Grayson didn’t even have an agent at the time.
Since then, the 5-foot-9 speedster has also spent time with Indianapolis, Houston, Chicago, and New Orleans, mostly on those teams’ practice squads. He has yet to see action in a regulation NFL game.
