Cowboys OT Terence Steele sidelined days with high ankle sprain

Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Terence Steele is dealing with a high ankle sprain that will sideline him for a few days during training camp. The injury is considered mild and not serious, allowing Steele to remain day-to-day as the team prepares for the regular season. In his absence, players such as Hakeem Adeniji, Nate Thomas, and Asim Richards are getting opportunities to compete for the right tackle position, with Thomas receiving early praise from coaches. Steele has started all 17 games over the past two seasons but struggled with consistency in 2024, opening the door for competition. The Cowboys continue to monitor Steele’s recovery closely, aiming for his readiness by the start of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles. Meanwhile, cornerback DaRon Bland and linebacker Kenneth Murray missed practice due to family reasons but are unrelated to the injury situation.
