Tyrone Crawford just dodged a major bullet.

The veteran Dallas Cowboys' pass rusher is entering a year in which he needs to prove he's worth his massive contract extension, having now undergone a second shoulder surgery in as many offseasons. Crawford entered training camp fully healthy and looking ready to dominate, but gave the team a serious scare when he was carted off the practice field on Tuesday in agony.

Thankfully for him and the team itself, the news came back positive and Crawford shouldn't miss any serious time.

This was ultimately confirmed by the Cowboys themselves shortly thereafter, who noted all X-rays came back negative on the ankle.

Confirming earlier reports, early diagnosis of Tyrone Crawford's injury is a lateral right ankle sprain; no fracture. — Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) August 9, 2017

The team is still awaiting MRI results to determine the extent of the sprain, but aren't expecting anything major at this point. And Crawford looks to be in great spirits, even politely asking everyone to stop reminding him of the injury by sending him the picture as a gruesome visual aid.

I want to thank everyone for the prayers????! I'll bounce back from this and will be out there putting in #WorkK soon! — Tyrone Crawford ???? (@TCrawford98) August 9, 2017

It remains to be seen how long the Cowboys will sit Crawford as he heals up, but the additional silver lining is it's still early August -- meaning he should still be available for the Sept. 10 kickoff against the rival New York Giants.
