Dallas Cowboys' biggest roster weaknesses as they head to camp

Past injury woes Ball has been participating in practice of late, David Helman of the team's official site reports.

Impact Ball missed the entirety of his rookie season with the Cowboys after being placed on the injured reserve list with an ankle injury in early September of 2021. Though the fourth-round pick was designated to return to practice in December, he never managed to make his NFL debut. Now that he's past his ankle issue, he'll look to establish himself as a potential swing tackle heading into the 2022 regular season.

Assuming he's also clear of his ankle injury, Ball may return to the team in time to provide a depth option at right tackle heading into the Cowboys' wild-card game against the 49ers on Sunday.

Grading the 2021 NFL Draft: NFC East report cards

Lands in Big D The Cowboys selected Ball in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 138th overall.

Impact A Marshall product by way of Florida State, Ball is a massive presence at 6-foot-7 and 308 pounds with 35.0-inch arms. Ball is viewed as a bit of a project and his size can work against him at times with defenders being able to get under his pads, while his anchor has some questions as well. Still, the Cowboys needed to add depth at tackle and Ball won't need to be rushed onto the field if Tyron Smith and La'el Collins stay healthy.
