Impact Ferguson suffered an MCL sprain and bone bruise in his knee during Dallas' win over the Browns in Week 1, but he's surprisingly not yet been ruled out for Week 2. The starting tight end will have two more opportunities to upgrade his practice level before receiving an injury designation for the weekend, but it sounds like if Ferguson is able to make enough progress, the Cowboys won't hesitate to deploy him versus New Orleans. Backup tight end Luke Schoonmaker and fullback Hunter Luepke will both be candidates to handle increased offensive reps in the event that Ferguson misses any time.

Not yet ruled out for Week 2 Ferguson hasn't been ruled out to play Sunday versus the Saints, despite being diagnosed with an MCL sprain and bone bruise in his knee Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ferguson's MCL sprain seems to be on the minor end if the Cowboys still consider him a candidate to suit up Week 2, though the team's top tight end appears more likely than not to miss time. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network labeled Ferguson week-to-week, and even the shorter recovery timeframes for MCL injuries usually require two weeks of rest. Fullback Hunter Luepke benefited from increased target volume Week 1 versus Cleveland after Ferguson left the field, but 2023 second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker also seems to be a candidate to start at tight end at home against the Saints on Sunday.

Dealing with MCL sprain Ferguson (knee) has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain after undergoing further medical tests Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Packers QB Jordan Love, for instance, is expected to miss three to six weeks after also sustaining an MCL sprain Week 1. Ferguson's specific recovery timetable remains undisclosed, but at the very least it looks like 2023 second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker will get a chance to step into the starting TE role Week 2 versus the Saints.

Sees no preseason action Ferguson didn't play in any of the Cowboys' three preseason games this season.

Impact The 2022 fourth-round pick is already locked in as the starting tight end, so Dallas didn't waste any preseason snaps on Ferguson, instead giving more work to the depth options fighting for a roster spot like John Stephens, Peyton Hendershot and Brevyn Spann-Ford. Ferguson had a breakout 2023 campaign, hauling in 71 of 102 targets for 761 yards and five touchdowns, and with CeeDee Lamb still holding out and Brandin Cooks nursing a knee injury at the end of training camp, he could become an even more important receiving option for Dak Prescott to begin the regular season.
