Dallas released Sprinkle (Achilles) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports. Sprinkle dealt with an Achilles issue throughout camp that caused him to periodically miss time, but the exact injury remains unknown. Once healthy, the 2017 fifth-round pick will be able to join a new team during the 2022 campaign.

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.

Sprinkle (Achilles) returned to practice Tuesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Sprinkle was sidelined for a week after an Achilles issue flared up, but as expected, the injury wasn't severe and he's already back at practice. The 2017 fifth-round pick agreed to terms on another one-year deal this offseason after the tight end recorded his fewest offensive snaps in 2021 since he was a rookie. With Dalton Schultz locked in as the starter, expect the 6-foot-5, 252-pound Sprinkle to compete with rookie Jake Ferguson and Sean McKeon for a depth role in 2022.

Sprinkle missed Tuesday's practice as Mike McCarthy said an Achilles issue flared up on the tight end, Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reports. The severity of Sprinkle's injury has yet to be determined, but the team doesn't seem overly concerned at the moment. After recording his fewest offensive snaps in 2021 since he was a rookie, Sprinkle and Dallas agreed to terms on another one-year deal in March. With Dalton Schultz locked in as the starter, expect the 6-foot-5, 252-pound Sprinkle to compete with rookie Jake Ferguson and Sean McKeon for a depth role at tight end.

Sprinkle agreed to a one-year contract with the Cowboys on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. While Sprinkle played in nearly every game for a fourth straight year, the 2017 fifth-round pick was primary used as a blocker during the 2021 campaign and caught just three passes for 31 yards. With the release of Blake Jarwin, Sprinkle is elevated to the No. 2 tight end on the depth chart behind Dalton Schultz, though Sprinkle figures to continue serving mostly as a blocker in 2022.
