The Dallas Cowboys signed former Georgia Tech wide receiver Ricky Jeune after a workout on Tuesday.

Jeune signed with the Los Angeles Rams as an undrafted free agent in May, but was cut by the team in July.

Jeune's signing comes after the Cowboys' sixth-round NFL Draft pick, wide receiver Cedrick Wilson, tore his labrum during a practice Saturday. Dallas will place Wilson on injured reserve.

During his three-year career with the Yellow Jackets, Jeune had 1,492 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns.
