Terence Steele Signs Five-Year Extension With Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Terence Steele has agreed to a five-year, $86.8 million extension, according to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News. The deal includes $50 million guaranteed with a max value of $91.8 million. This is a massive accomplishment for Steele, who started 13 games before tearing his ACL last season. It also gives Dallas long-term offensive line help for Dak Prescott, Tony Pollard, and additional playmakers.
Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Terence Steele (knee), who tore his ACL and MCL in his left knee in Week 14 of last season against the Houston Texans, was limited during organized team activities this week. The fourth-year offensive lineman has started 40 games in the last three seasons and is a valuable member of the team's O-line when he's healthy. "Terence isn't quite ready for some of that," head coach Mike McCarthy said. "We'll try to interject these guys the best we can." As long as the 25-year-old doesn't suffer any setbacks once training camp begins later this summer, he will open the 2023 regular season as Dallas' starting right tackle.
Dallas Cowboys right tackle Terence Steele (knee) tore his ACL in the Week 14 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday and is now out for the season, according to sources. Steele was one of the team's best linemen and is a big part of their future, so this is a big loss for the Cowboys' offense the rest of the way in 2022. It was a normal ACL tear, so he should be good to go for training camp next summer, barring any setbacks along the way in his recovery. With the 25-year-old now out for the year, the Cowboys will turn to either Jason Peters or Josh Ball as their starting right tackle, beginning in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Terence Steele, Johnathan Hankins Ruled Out Sunday
Dallas Cowboys right tackle Terence Steele (left knee) and defensive lineman Johnathan Hankins (right shoulder) have been ruled out for the remainder of Week 14 against the Houston Texans. Josh Ball will take over for Steele while Osa Odighizuwa and Quinton Bohanna earn more snaps in Hankins' absence.
Cowboys Activate Terence Steele From COVID-19 List
The Dallas Cowboys activated offensive tackle Terence Steele from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Steele will be available in Week 14 against the Washington Football Team, but it's uncertain how the playing time will shake out at right tackle between Steele and La'el Collins. Steele was starting at right tackle and doing well, but Collins is back from his suspension and has started three of the last four games for Dallas. Whoever isn't playing right tackle could play in place of a tight end to give the team better blocking on running plays. The return of Steele only bolsters the Cowboys offensive line, which is good news for the running game and RBs Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard.
The Dallas Cowboys have placed offensive tackle Terence Steele on the reserve/COVID-19 list, putting him in line to miss next week's game against the Saints. Steele was a solid fill-in tackle when Tyron Smith was out and saw some work at right tackle too, surprisingly starting over La'el Collins on Thanksgiving. Expect Collins back in the starting lineup Thursday. Assuming Collins isn't too rusty from only playing three snaps on Thursday, this shouldn't have much of an impact on the Dallas offense.
