Cowboys face a tough decision on Matt Eberflus after another sub-par showing on defense

The Dallas Cowboys face a tough decision with their defense after another sub-par showing in a 34-17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers

4 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Clears concussion protocol Luepke (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Impact Luepke increased his practice participation over the course of Week 16 prep, and he has progressed enough to clear the league's concussion protocol and be available for Sunday's home tilt. The third-year fullback turned five touches into 30 yards during the Cowboys' Week 15 loss to the Vikings before leaving the game after sustaining a concussion.

Questionable for Week 16 Luepke (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Luepke was able to practice in full Friday, but his questionable tag for Week 16 indicates that he is still in the league's concussion protocol, so he would need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play Sunday. If he's not given the green light to play, then the Cowboys may turn to tight ends Brevyn Spann-Ford or Luke Schoonmaker to play some snaps at fullback for Week 16, given that there are no other fullbacks on Dallas' active roster.

Upgrades to limited Thursday Luepke (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Luepeke took the third step toward clearing the NFL's five-step concussion protocol Thursday by upgrading to a limited participant after missing Wednesday's session. The fullback will have to practice Friday and be cleared by an independent neurological specialist to be able to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

DECEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

DNP to open week Luepke (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Luepke entered the league's concussion protocol during the Cowboys' Week 15 loss to the Vikings. Even if he were to return to practice over the next two days, Luepke would have to be cleared from the league's protocol by an independent neurologist in order to play Sunday against the Chargers. The Cowboys don't have another fullback on the active roster or practice squad, so they may deploy a tight end like Luke Schoonmaker or Brevyn Spann-Ford as a backfield blocker if Luepke is not cleared to play.

DECEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Done for night Luepke (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's contest against the Vikings, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Luepke suffered a concussion during Sunday Night Football, bringing his night to a premature end. The Cowboys will have to operate without a fullback for the remainder of the game.

Full participant Thursday Luepke (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Luepke's ability to string consecutive practices together is a great sign for his availability for Sunday's game against the Vikings. The fullback will have one more chance to avoid an injury designation for Sunday, and even without a full practice Friday, he seems to be in a good spot to be able to suit up for the Cowboys' offense.

DECEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with hip injury Luepke (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Luepke likely picked up the injury during the Cowboys' Week 14 loss to the Lions, when he played 40 snaps (21 on offense, 19 on special teams) and finished with two tackles. His ability to practice in a limited capacity indicates the hip injury isn't a long-term concern, and he'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

Catches three passes in win Luepke carried once for five yards and added three receptions for 36 yards in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

Impact Heading into Monday, Luepke had just six total touches through the Cowboys' first nine games, but the fullback saw his most involvement of the season as Dallas cruised to an easy win. Luepke played just 16 of Dallas' 67 snaps on offense, however, and he's still likely to offer most of his contributions as a blocker when he's on the field.

Records short reception in win Luepke corralled his lone target for a three-yard reception in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.

Impact After hauling in a three-yard catch for the second touchdown of his career in a Week 6 loss to the Panthers, Luepke was unable to find paydirt Sunday but was one of eight Dallas pass catchers to finish with a reception. The fullback played just 11 of 67 snaps on offense and will continue to handle a limited role in the weeks to come.
