Hendershot was unavailable for the Cowboys' practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Hendershot was forced to sit out the team's "mock game" at practice as the Cowboys gear up for their first preseason contest Sunday on the road versus the Rams. The tight end will look to get back on the practice field as soon as possible, though he may not be able to go Sunday depending on the severity of his shoulder issue.
Hendershot (ankle) was seen participating in 7-on-7 drills at practice Friday, Nick Harris and Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports. Hendershot missed nine regular-season games in 2023 due to a lingering ankle injury, and he opted to undergo surgery in February. The third-year tight end out of Indiana appears to have fully recovered from the procedure, and he looks to be competing with John Stephens for the No. 3 tight end role behind Jake Ferguson and Luke Schoonmaker.
Hendershot has been easing back into action following offseason ankle surgery, Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reports. Hendershot underwent ankle surgery following the close of the 2023 season and isn't yet back up to full speed. He's expected to fill a depth role at tight end for Dallas in the coming campaign.
