Sprinkle (Achilles) will not take part in the Cowboys' joint practice with the Chargers on Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Sprinkle missed a week of practice in the beginning of August with the injury, but he had been participating since his return. Whether his absence is more of a precautionary move or the cause of a setback remains to be seen. The 28-year old is currently competing with Jake Ferguson, Sean McKeon and Peyton Hendershot for positioning on the Cowboys' tight-end depth chart behind locked-in starter Dalton Schultz.
