Smith inked a practice-squad contract with Dallas on Tuesday.
Smith was selected by the Cowboys in the seventh round of April's NFL Draft. He played in all three of the team's preseason games, catching seven of 13 targets for 65 yards. Smith was waived Sunday, but he was quickly brought back to serve as wideout depth on the team's practice squad.

Cowboys' Anthony Smith: Catches three passes Friday
Rotowire
Smith caught three of his four targets for 19 yards during the Cowboys' preseason game Friday versus the Saints.
Smith was part of Dallas' starting lineup and ended up playing 52 offensive snaps. The rookie seventh-round pick has had a quiet showing during the preseason, catching five of his eight targets for just 37 yards, and could face an uphill battle to make the roster, as the Cowboys have ample receiver depth.

Cowboys' Anthony Smith: Two catches to open preseason
Rotowire
Smith brought in two of five targets for 28 yards and rushed once for nine yards in the Cowboys' 17-7 preseason win over the Seahawks on Saturday.
The rookie seventh-round pick tied for the team lead in targets and recorded an impressive 23-yard reception on third down during Dallas' first possession of the second half. Smith finished his six-year college career with a flourish over his final two seasons at East Carolina, but he still seemingly has an uphill battle for a spot on the 53-man roster due to a deep Cowboys wide-receiver depth chart. Smith should see ample time in the second half again during next Saturday night's exhibition at Arizona.
