Tyrone Crawford goes down tackling Ezekiel Elliott. Trainers help him up and put him on cart. Right ankle injury. Buries head in hand.

Definitely right ankle injury on DE Tyrone Crawford. Ankle bends at 90 degree angle when caught under Ezekiel Elliott foot.

The injury happened towards the end of practice during team drills. Crawford got tangled up with Ezekiel Elliott and landed awkwardly. There is no definitive report yet, but this picture does not look good at all.

We’re not exactly sure about the specifics of the injury but it doesn’t look to be good for the Cowboys.
