Cowboys expect Ryan Switzer to have meaningful role

Dallas Cowboys fourth-round wide receiver Ryan Switzer to have a "significant" role in the team's offense, offensive coordinator Scott Linehan expects.

What It Means:

"His role is significant," said Linehan. "He complements [Cole] Beasley and also gives us some big-time needed depth." Linehan called Switzer a "classic slot receiver." Switzer has practiced with the first team at OTAs with Beasley nursing a hamstring injury. Despite Linehan's comments, Switzer will have a tough time earning snaps as long as Beasley is healthy.

Beasley turned in the 10th-most Reception Net Expected Points per target among the 92 receivers to see at least 50 targets last year.
