Suffers knee injury in Week 9 Ferguson sustained a knee injury during Sunday's game against the Colts, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Ferguson tended to a low-ankle sprain during Week 9 prep, but it's now one of his knees that's a concern after he took a low hit in the third quarter of Sunday's matchup. He had two catches (on two targets) for 21 yards and one touchdown at the time of his exit.

Active in Week 9 Ferguson (ankle) is listed as active Sunday in Indianapolis.

Impact Ferguson left last Sunday's loss to the Cardinals on the Cowboys' first possession and wasn't able to return due to an ankle injury. He was diagnosed with a low-ankle sprain, and while head coach Brian Schottenheimer relayed to Jon Machota of The Athletic on Monday that Ferguson has a chance to play in Week 9, the tight end managed just one limited practice (Friday) and was listed as questionable. Now that Ferguson is confirmed to be active, his workload is unclear with two other TEs (Brevyn Spann-Ford and James Mitchell) also available to the offense.

Listed as questionable for Sunday Ferguson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Impact Ferguson returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, after making an early exit Week 8 and missing practice earlier this week. Dallas has downplayed the severity of Ferguson's injury, be he looks no better than 50/50 ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday at Indianapolis. Brevyn Spann-Ford filled in after Ferguson's first-quarter exit last week, playing 88 percent of snaps on offense and catching four of five targets for 31 yards.

Could practice Friday Head coach Brian Schottenheimer hopes that Ferguson (ankle) will be "back on the field" Friday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Impact Ferguson did not get any work in Wednesday or Thursday due to the ankle injury he sustained in Week 8, but it appears there is a chance he could practice in some capacity Friday. The Cowboys will reveal his official status for Week 9 at some point following the conclusion of Friday's session.

Remains unavailable Thursday Ferguson (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ferguson's back-to-back absences to kick off Week 9 prep don't bode well for his availability Sunday against the Colts. He sustained a low-ankle sprain after playing just four snaps during Dallas' Week 8 loss to the Cardinals. Brevyn Spann-Ford worked as the team's top TE after Ferguson's exit. Ferguson will have one more opportunity to practice Friday before Dallas posts Week 9 game statuses.

Officially unavailable for practice Ferguson (ankle) did not participate at the Cowboys' practice Wednesday, Patrik Walker of the team's official site reports.

Impact As expected, Ferguson was unavailable for practice as he worked off to the side with the team's training staff. The tight end is working through a low-ankle sprain that he suffered during the team's 33-30 overtime loss to Arizona in Week 8, and his availability for Sunday's matchup against the Colts is in question. Ferguson will have two more chances to return to practice this week, but if he can't go for Week 9, Brevyn Spann-Ford would be a top candidate to take over as the primary tight end for Dallas.

Working with trainers Wednesday Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Ferguson (ankle) will work with the Cowboys' training staff during Wednesday's practice, Briana Aldridge of CBS News Texas reports.

Impact Such comments are an indication that Ferguson will go down as a DNP to kick off Week 9 prep, something that'll be revealed on Wednesday's injury report. Ferguson is tending to a low-ankle sprain in the wake of this past Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

Has chance to play Sunday Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Monday that Ferguson (ankle) has a chance to play Sunday at Indianapolis, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ferguson hurt his ankle early in Sunday's eventual overtime loss to the Cardinals, eventually was ruled out and the diagnosed with a low-ankle sprain. Schottenheimer's comments one day later follow the general belief that players often are able to gut out such injuries, but how Ferguson fares in practice Wednesday through Friday will determine his availability for Week 9.

Sustains low-ankle sprain Ferguson suffered a low-ankle sprain during Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

Impact Ferguson picked up an ankle injury on the Cowboys' first drive of the game and eventually was ruled out after halftime. He thus finished Week 8 without a target, making it his second contest in a row with no catches in the box score. Low-ankle sprains typically can be played through, but Ferguson's status will be watched to get a sense of his potential to suit up next Sunday at Indianapolis.

Ruled out for rest of game Ferguson (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Joe Hoyt reports.

Impact Prior to his exit, Ferguson wasn't targeted by QB Dak Prescott. In his absence versus Arizona, Brevyn Spann-Ford and James Mitchell are available to handle TE duties for the remainder of Sunday's contest.

Injures ankle Sunday Ferguson suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Impact Ferguson exited on the Cowboys' first offensive possession and is questionable to return. With Luke Schoonmaker (groin) inactive, Brevyn Spann-Ford and James Mitchell are the active healthy tight ends for Dallas.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Blanked on MNF Ferguson failed to haul in his lone target during Monday's 38-21 win over the Eagles.

Impact Monday was the first time since Week 8 of the 2025 season that Ferguson failed to record a catch, and the only pass he saw from Dak Prescott was on a broken play in the red zone early in the fourth quarter. Ferguson's 38 offensive snaps were only two more than fellow tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford, and the latter's role in the offensive has grown over the last few weeks at the expense of the former. Week 8 against the Cardinals presents itself as a bounce-back opportunity for Ferguson, seeing as Arizona's defense ranks 27th in the NFL in fantasy points allowed per game to tight ends.

Two catches during SNF Ferguson caught two of three targets for 13 yards during Sunday night's 23-13 loss to the Packers.

Impact Ferguson matched his season low with two catches, and he has now been held to 23 or fewer yards in five of six contests to open the season. The tight end hasn't found the end zone since Week 3, and through six games, he's caught 17 of 24 targets for 115 yards and three scores. Ferguson reeled in a career-high 82 passes over 17 regular-season contests in 2025, and he has some work to do to return to that form in 2026.

Inadvertently causes crucial turnover Ferguson brought in three of six targets for 19 yards in the Cowboys' 24-16 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday night.

Impact Ferguson was a distant second in targets to George Pickens' 13, but the veteran tight end failed to eclipse 25 receiving yards for the fourth time in the first five games. Ferguson's night -- and by extension, that of the Cowboys' -- ended on a very sour note when he had a late fourth-quarter pass from Dak Prescott bounce off his hands and result in an Alex Anzalone interception that helped seal the victory for Tampa Bay. Ferguson has mustered a modest 15-102-3 line on 21 targets heading into a Week 6 road matchup against the Packers on Sunday night, Oct. 18.
