The Dallas Cowboys are monitoring the injury status of Terence Steele, their starting right tackle, who was absent from practice due to a right ankle examination. His absence raises concerns ahead of the upcoming season, particularly regarding the offensive line's continuity and effectiveness. As a critical player for the Cowboys, Steele’s health will significantly impact the team's performance, particularly in protecting Dak Prescott and establishing the running game.

Given Steele's importance, fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his recovery progress. If he is unable to practice and subsequently miss games, it could lead to a considerable adjustment in the offensive strategy. The Cowboys have depth at the position, but any adjustments could affect play-calling and production from key skill-position players.
