ANALYSIS
Richards suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Cowboys' 34-26 win over the Commanders this past Sunday.

Considered unavailable Tuesday
Richards (ankle) was considered a non-participant at the Cowboys' walkthrough Tuesday, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Richards has been unavailable for each of the team's first two walkthroughs of the week, putting his availability for Thursday's contest against the Giants in doubt. He'll look to participate in some capacity Wednesday, otherwise, Matt Waletzko would likely operate as the top reserve option at offensive tackle in Week 13.

Could miss time
Richards suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Richards is likely questionable at best for a Thanksgiving day matchup with the Giants since high-ankle sprains typically involve a multi-week absence. If he's ultimately unable to suit up, it'd be a blow to the Cowboys' offensive line depth.

Bolsters Dallas' offensive line
The Cowboys selected Richards in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 169th overall.
ANALYSIS
Richards was a three-year starter at left tackle for North Carolina, an impressive accomplishment for someone who began playing offensive line late in high school. Given his relative lack of experience, he remains a bit raw as he enters the NFL. Richards does have the length -- he's 6-foot-4 and has 34-inch arms -- to develop into a valuable player along Dallas' offensive line, it just may take a couple of seasons.
