Logs full practice Thursday Ferguson (concussion) practiced in full Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact This marks Ferguson's first official practice since he sustained a concussion in the first quarter of a Week 11 loss to the Texans. With an uncapped session under his belt Thursday, he appears to be closing in on emerging from the protocol for head injuries, but it's unclear yet if he's gained clearance from an independent neurologist. In any case, Ferguson has plenty of time to do so ahead of Monday's game against the Bengals.

Trending up for Week 14 Ferguson (concussion) participated in Wednesday's bonus walkthrough session, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Dallas plays on Monday Night Football in Week 14, so the team didn't have an official practice Wednesday. Nonetheless, it was a positive sign for Ferguson's likelihood of returning to action against the Bengals on Monday that he was able to take part in what Moore deemed a "mock game." Ferguson has missed each of the Cowboys' past two contests after suffering a concussion in Week 11 against Houston, and though it's not clear whether he's been cleared through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, he'll have had extra time to recover between Weeks 13 and 14 given the upcoming Monday night matchup and the fact that Dallas' previous game was last Thursday.

Unavailable in Week 13 Ferguson (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Ferguson thus will miss a second game in a row due to the concussion that he suffered in the first quarter of a Week 11 loss to the Texans. Considering he hasn't practiced since suffering the injury, he likely hasn't made much, if any, progress through league protocols. In any case, for as long as Ferguson is sidelined, Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford will continue to man TE for the Cowboys.

Another DNP on Tuesday Ferguson (concussion) did not practice Tuesday, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.

Impact Ferguson has registered back-to-back DNPs to open the week, and Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones already said Ferguson was "a little more of a long shot" to play Thursday against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reported Monday. Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford would again handle tight end duties if Ferguson isn't cleared to play.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still in concussion protocol Coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Ferguson remains in the concussion protocol, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Ferguson made an early exit from the Cowboys' Week 11 loss to the Texans due to a concussion, which resulted in inactive status Sunday at Washington. On Monday, executive vice president Stephen Jones told 105.3 The Fan that Ferguson is "a little more of a long shot" to play Thursday against the Giants, which was corroborated by his continued listing of DNP on Monday's practice estimate. Assuming Ferguson ends up missing a second game in a row later this week, Luke Schoonmaker (3-55-1 line on four targets, 65 percent snap share Sunday) and Brevyn Spann-Ford (2-24-0 on two targets, 50 percent) will continue to man tight end for Dallas.

Long shot to play Thursday Speaking on Monday, Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said Ferguson (concussion) is "a little more of a long shot" to play Thursday against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ferguson was concussed in Week 11 against the Texans and just missed Sunday's Week 12 win over the Commanders after not practicing at all last week. The Cowboys now have a quick Week 13 turnaround, hosting the division-rival Giants on Thanksgiving Day. Luke Schoonmaker played 65 percent of the offensive snaps against Washington and posted a useful 3-55-1 receiving line on four targets in the victory. He and Brevyn Spann-Ford (50 percent and 2-24-0) would again handle tight end duties without Ferguson.

Ruled out for Sunday Ferguson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Washington, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Ferguson hasn't practiced since entering concussion protocol in the first quarter of Monday's loss to Houston. His absence for most of the night left more opportunities for both Luke Schoonmaker and Brevynn Spann-Ford, with Schoonmaker catching six of 10 targets for 56 yards on 53 percent snap share while Spann-Ford caught four of five targets for 32 yards on 49 percent of snaps. Ferguson's next chance to play will be a Thanksgiving home game against the Giants on Nov. 28.

Still not practicing Ferguson (concussion) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Ferguson has yet to make any notable progress through the protocol for head injuries after sustaining a concussion in the first quarter of Monday's eventual loss to the Texans. Coach Mike McCarthy relayed Tuesday that Ferguson is unlikely to be available for Sunday's game in Washington, and the Cowboys could confirm as much once they post their final practice report Friday. Fellow TE Luke Schoonmaker would stand to benefit if Ferguson is sidelined this weekend.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Wednesday Ferguson (concussion) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact This comes as no surprise following the concussion that Ferguson sustained early on during Monday's defeat to the Texans. Coach Mike McCarthy relayed to Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday that Ferguson would be "hard-pressed" to play Sunday in Washington, but any progress he's able to display Thursday or Friday may give a better sense of when he'll be available to the Cowboys offense again.

'Hard pressed' to play Week 12 Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged Tuesday that Ferguson (concussion) "will be hard pressed" to play Sunday at Washington, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News repo...

Impact Ferguson entered concussion protocol after sustaining the head injury in the first half of Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans. While the Cowboys aren't yet closing the door on Ferguson clearing the five-step protocol prior to Sunday, he won't be helped by Dallas facing a shorter week of prep time than usual due to the Monday night game. If Ferguson ends up being ruled out for Week 12, Luke Schoonmaker would likely step in as Dallas' starting tight end after playing 43 snaps and finishing with six catches for 56 yards on 10 targets in relief of Ferguson in the loss to Houston.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson Ruled Out of MNF With Apparent Concussion The Dallas Cowboys hit with another injury, as tight end Jake Ferguson has exited the game with an apparent concussion.

Done for Week 11 due to concussion Ferguson has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against Houston due to a concussion, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Ferguson was hurt in the first quarter and subsequently entered concussion protocol. The Cowboys have since ruled their No. 1 tight end out for the remainder of the contest. Ferguson finishes Monday's contest with one catch on one target for 11 yards. Luke Schoonmaker will likely take on the majority of Dallas' tight-end snaps in Ferguson's stead.

Upgrades to full practice Ferguson (illness) was a full practice participant Friday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ferguson will be fine for Monday's matchup with Houston, having missed just one practice due to an illness. The real concern for fantasy is QB play, after Cooper Rush threw for 45 yards last week in his first start of the season.

NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Comes down with illness Ferguson didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Ferguson has caught multiple passes in all eight appearances this season en route to a 42-358-0 line on 57 targets. With Dak Prescott (hamstring) out for the season, Ferguson now is on the receiving end of passes from Cooper Rush, but first the tight end will need to get past his current ailment in order to make himself available Monday against the Texans.

NOVEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fumble negates mild production Ferguson caught four of five targets for 24 yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles.

Impact Ferguson led the Cowboys in receiving yardage in a game where the offense mustered just 66 passing yards. The tight end's mild output was virtually negated when he coughed up one of Dallas' four lost fumbles Sunday. Ferguson was an average fantasy option when Dak Prescott (hamstring) was under center, but with the latter possibly done for the season, it is safe to downgrade the Cowboys' position players if Cooper Rush continues to start against the Texans next Monday.

Leading receiver in loss Ferguson caught seven of 10 targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Falcons.

Impact CeeDee Lamb led the Cowboys in catches (eight) and targets (12), but Ferguson paced the team in receiving yards in his best performance since he racked up a 6-95-0 line on 11 targets in Week 3. The third-year tight end recorded two of his receptions with Cooper Rush under center in the fourth quarter after Dak Prescott (hamstring) left the game, and if Rush gets the start in Week 10 against the Eagles, Ferguson could see big volume again.

Does little with eight targets Ferguson caught six of eight targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Ferguson didn't get in on the scoring fun that the tight end position enjoyed on national tight ends day in the NFL. Instead, Ferguson had multiple defenders swarming to him on each of his six short catches, none of which went for more than 10 yards. He has at least six catches in four of his last five games, so Ferguson figures to see substantial volume again in Week 9 against the Falcons.
