Cowboys news 🚨: Johnathan Hankins has high-ankle sprain, severity unknown

Jones mentioned on 105.3 The Fan that the player has a high ankle sprain, expressing optimism about it not being severe. The extent of the injury would be further evaluated to determine the specifics, with more information expected later.

The injury occurred during the second half against Philadelphia when D’Andre Swift’s six-yard gain led to multiple bodies falling on Hankins’ ankle, causing it to bend backward. The Cowboys’ training staff attended to him on the field, and he left the game without returning.

Post-game, Hankins was observed leaving the locker room without a walking boot and without any noticeable limp, suggesting a potentially positive outlook regarding the injury. However, the potential loss of Hankins for future games is acknowledged, given his experience in the defensive interior line, both in run defense and pass rushing. In his 11th NFL season, he has recorded 26 tackles and three sacks in 13 games.
