The Cowboys placed Ball (hip) on injured reserve Tuesday, Nick Harris of the Cowboy's official site reports.
Ball was expected to be sidelined for at least two months after an MRI revealed a soft tissue injury in his hip/groin area. However, the 2021 fourth-round pick will now be forced to miss the entire 2023 campaign, barring an injury settlement.

Ball, who left Saturday's 31-16 preseason win over the Raiders, is set to miss two months after an MRI revealed a soft tissue injury in the hip/groin area, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Ball left during the opening drive of Saturday's game after the injury prevented him from anchoring in pass protection. Ball has been competing for a depth spot on the Cowboys' offensive line and this injury is a big setback for him.

Ball (hip) is questionable to return to Saturday's preseason game against Las Vegas, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
The 2021 fourth-round pick is battling for a spot on the Cowboys' active roster ahead of the coming season, and this injury does not help his case. Ball missed his entire rookie year with an ankle injury and appeared in 13 games (zero starts) last season for Dallas. The severity of the 25-year-old's injury is unknown for the time being.
