The Dallas Cowboys found themselves in need of a little more depth at the center position after Tyler Biadasz missed last Sunday’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals with a hamstring injury, and it sounds like they’re turning to a former Ohio State Buckeyes star to do it.
According to a report from Dallas Cowboys beat reporter Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News, the Dallas Cowboys are adding former Ohio State Buckeyes All-American center Billy Price to their practice squad.
“Cowboys signed center Billy Price to their practice squad, they announced. This fills vacancy from CB C.J. Goodwin’s promotion to the 53-man roster. Price made 26 starts the past two years for the Giants, Cardinals. The Bengals drafted him in the 2018 first round,” Gehlken wrote in a post on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter.

Billy Price was a star at Ohio State, breaking the program’s all-time record for most starts and even winning the Rimington Trophy, given to the nation’s top center.
While his NFL career has not gone quite the way he would have hoped after he was selected in the first round by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2017, his signing still generated quite a buzz on social media.
Interesting move. Billy Price hasn't really panned out from a technique standpoint but he's got the kind of mentality you want in the trenches https://t.co/cMaPS7AtlB

Billy Price has played quite a few snaps over the last few years. https://t.co/w4TmKdBtaA

With the addition of C Billy Price, that makes four former first round picks in the #Cowboys offensive line room.
– Tyron Smith
– Zack Martin
– Tyler Smith.This could be extra insurance if the Biadasz injury keeps lingering 🤟 https://t.co/Rx5uxFiPUy

Price has started games in the NFL each of the past two years. We’ll have to see if he is able to impress the Cowboys enough to earn some playing time with the team.
