Looks like he's spent time at both OT and OG.

"A former fifth-round pick out of North Carolina back in 2023, Richards has logged over 200 snaps at left tackle the last two years in Dallas while making a handful of appearances both guard spots (13 reps altogether). But this summer he spent more time inside, playing 69 snaps at left guard compared to 42 snaps at left tackle. He only allowed one quarterback pressure, a hurry, on 68 snaps in pass protection. But he was fouled three times.

If you include the previous two preseasons, Richards has seen 276 snaps at left tackle and 207 at left guard, and he still hasn't given up a sack (though his pressures total goes up to 9, all hurries). Kellen Moore wasn't in Dallas when the Cowboys drafted Richards, but obviously there's some overlap in what both staffs value at the position."
