When the Dallas Cowboys were making their final cuts to get to their 53-man roster for the start of the regular season, running back Ryan Williams was one of the handful of players who was waived.

More from Dallas Cowboys

Williams was released when the Cowboys decided to only retain Lance Dunbar and Joseph Randle behind DeMarco Murray.

However, he will still be starting the 2014-15 NFL regular season as a member of the Dallas Cowboys.

Williams will just be a part of the ten-man practice squad instead of the active roster.

Joining the former second-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals on the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad are wide receiver Tim Benford, defensive end Kenneth Boatright, center Ronald Patrick, safety Micah Pellerin and linebackers Keith Smith and Will Smith.

The Cowboys have three spots remaining on their practice squad.
