Houston has been waived by the Cowboys
He had 2 catches (5 targets) for 16 yards in their first week game, then didn't do much in the second game. He played in 34% of snaps and was targeted once.

Dennis has a shot at being elevated and active this week.  Right now the cowboys have 6 WR's on their active roster with Lamb and Gallup being the starters.  3rd guys is Noah Brown who's very questionable for Sunday and since James Washington is one of those 6 and not quit ready to be back, they'd be down to 4.  If Brown can't go, the 3rd option would be Tolbert who basically took Dennis's spot (1 catch for 4 yards) and 4th, Turpin who's been almost exclusively used as a returner (2 rushes for 6 yards).

Brown could practice tomorrow and be ready and guess there's a long shot on Washington and who knows they could call up 1 of the other 2 WR on the PS.  Hoping his connection with Dak gets his number called and he has another shot.
