The Dallas Cowboys have been dealing with a flurry of injuries at wide receiver throughout the first five weeks of the season, and star pass catcher CeeDee Lamb and electric playmaker KaVontae Turpin will once again be held out of action in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers.
So, with the team light at the position, the Cowboys had to call up some reinforcements from the practice squad.
On Saturday, Dallas elevated Super Bowl champion Parris Campbell to the active roster. Campbell recently returned to the team after being released during the preseason.
