The Cowboys made a roster move on Saturday to replenish some depth at wide receiver.
With Tavon Austin missing practice all week with a head injury, Wilson is being called up from the practice squad to be the Cowboys’ fifth receiver in Washington. Linebacker Chris Covington is being released to make room on the roster.
It’s been a long time coming for Wilson, who was a sixth-round draft pick in 2018 before spending last season on injured reserve. The Boise State product didn’t make the initial roster coming out of training camp, but he’ll now have a chance to show his stuff.
