Luke Schoonmaker - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Full practice Wednesday Schoonmaker (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Impact The tight end has missed the past two games for Dallas but appears to be ready to return and could see significant snaps behind Brevyn Spann-Ford while Jake Ferguson (knee) is sidelined.

Out again Week 9 Schoonmaker (groin) is inactive for Sunday's clash against the Colts.

Impact Schoonmaker continues to tend to a groin issue and will miss his second straight game. He did manage a trio of limited practices during the week, so the tight end may be able to play next Sunday, Nov. 15, against San Francisco. Dallas' tight-end corps will consist of Jake Ferguson, Brevyn Spann-Ford and James Mitchell in Week 9.

Won't play against Arizona Schoomaker (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Schoonmaker was unable to practice Thursday nor Friday due to a groin injury that he sustained during Week 8 prep. He'll miss his first game of the regular season Sunday, and he'll aim to recover enough to return for Week 9 against the Colts on Nov. 8. Jake Ferguson, Brevyn Spann-Ford and James Mitchell will be the Cowboys' three active tight ends against Arizona.

Playing time slipping Schoonmaker went without a target while playing 11 of the Cowboys' 68 offensive snaps in Monday's 38-21 win over the Eagles.

Impact After drawing even with Brevyn Spann-Ford in snaps during the Cowboys' Week 1 loss to the Giants, Schoonmaker has settled in as the clear No. 3 option on the depth chart at tight end behind Jake Ferguson and Spann-Ford in the subsequent six games. He's played less than 20 percent of the offensive snaps in four consecutive contests, drawing just one target during that span while functioning mainly as a blocker during his time on the field.

Catches one pass Schoonmaker finished with one catch for 12 yards in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Giants.

Impact The tight end played on 13 of 58 offensive snaps and 10 more on special teams. Schoonmaker, now in his fourth NFL season, has 50 career catches in the regular season.

Disappointing season in 2025 Schoonmaker caught 14 of 23 targets for 132 yards and zero touchdowns over 17 games for the Cowboys in 2025.

Impact The 2023 second-round pick has yet to miss a game in the NFL career, but Schoonmaker has done little else of note. His receiving numbers took a tumble from the 27-241-1 line he posted in 2024, and undrafted second-year player Brevyn Spann-Ford has moved past him on the depth chart due to his superior run blocking, although neither player is a threat to starting TE Jake Ferguson. Schoonmaker has one more year left on his rookie contract, but he hasn't done much to secure a spot in the Cowboys' long-term plans.

No targets in Week 11 win Schoonmaker went without a target while playing 30 of the Cowboys' 67 snaps on offense in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

Impact Schoonmaker ran routes on just six of his 30 snaps and was one of the few Dallas pass catchers to go without a look on a night in which quarterback Dak Prescott targeted nine different players. So long as top tight end Jake Ferguson is available, Schoonmaker looks like he'll mostly be limited to a tertiary role in the passing game while serving as a blocker more often than not when he's on the field.

Straightening Things Out with Luke Schoonmaker | Girls Talk, 'Boys Talk

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • YOUTUBE

Season-high three targets Sunday Schoonmaker caught two of his three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.

Impact The Cowboys curiously went away from Jake Ferguson in the contest as a receiving option, and as a result Schoonmaker saw a season-high three targets while also reaching double-digit receiving yards for the first time in 2025. The production wasn't much, but it's at least a positive sign for the third-year tight end. If Ferguson's disappearance from the game plan proves to be more than just a one-week trend, Schoonmaker could benefit.

OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

No targets in Week 7 win Schoonmaker went without a target while playing 22 of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.

Impact Though quarterback Dak Prescott spread the ball around to eight different pass catchers in Sunday's romp, Schoonmaker didn't get in on the act. The third-year tight end had drawn at least one target in each of Dallas' first six games, accruing a 5-24-0 receiving line over that stretch.

OCTOBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Shut out as receiver Sunday Schoonmaker failed to catch two targets in Sunday's 40-37 overtime win over the Giants.

Impact The 2023 second-round pick is still looking for his first catch of the season, whiffing on all three of his targets while Jake Ferguson dominates the receiving opportunities at tight end for Dallas. Even Schoonmaker's hold on the No. 2 spot on the depth chart could be slipping, as Brevyn Spann-Ford is proving to be a better blocker and caught his only target Sunday, albeit for just three yards.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Just one target Thursday Schoonmaker failed to catch his only target in Thursday's loss to the Eagles.

Impact The third-year tight end had a limited role, as expected, while working behind starter Jake Ferguson. Schoonmaker's hold on the No. 2 spot on the depth chart may not be secure either, despite his standing as a 2023 second-round pick -- he played 15 snaps on offense to Brevyn Spann-Ford's 10, and the latter made a more noticeable impact with his blocking.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Clears concussion protocol Schoonmaker (concussion) isn't listed on Dallas' injury report for Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Schoonmaker landed in concussion protocol after leaving practice early Aug. 19, but it appears he's since been medically cleared. The third-year tight end is slated to work behind Jake Ferguson in the pecking order in 2025.
