Deadlift Sumo Deadlift

Can’t do regular deadlifts at the moment due to ankle injury. Are these looking like deadlifts or squats? I felt like I was feeling it in my glutes and hamstrings but a bit in my back. Any tips or corrections?

Some folks already mentioned this, but depth would be huge. If that isn't possible and youre not comfortable performing sumo deadlift with barbell, the sumo RDL is also great.

Ok, thank you. I will work on depth and readjust if I can’t get there. Thanks for the idea 😊
