Haven’t heard of Terence Steele? You are not alone but that name will be significant this week because he is the Cowboys starting right tackle. Steele is an undrafted rookie free agent from Texas Tech.

He isn’t their normal starting right tackle but La’ael Collins was placed on injured reserve before the season started so Steele has been thrust into the starting lineup for one of the best offenses in the NFL.

Steele has struggled a couple of times this season with penalties and missed blocks and now he is going up against one of the best defensive lines in the league as the Browns’ front four has been relentless so far this season.

The defensive end spot opposite of Myles Garrett has been a little bit of a turn-style as Olivier Vernon and Adrian Clayborn have both been injured and Porter Gustin has filled in and played really well.

Cleveland defensive coordinator Joe Woods has done a good job of moving guys around on the defensive line to get different matchups so Steele will likely be getting looks against everybody.

Tyron Smith is listed as questionable on the injury report with a neck issue so Steele may even get some time at left tackle. Getting to Dak Prescott may be the only way for the Browns to slow down this high-powered Dallas offense.
