A tweet from Baylor basketball-product Rico Gathers seems to indicate the Dallas Cowboys practice squad is beginning to take shape.

On Saturday, the Cowboys released 20 players to narrow their team down to the required 53-man roster.

Once players clear waivers they become eligible to sign on with a team's practice squad. The full Cowboys practice squad roster is set to be released later this afternoon.
