NFL Week 17 highlights: Commanders make playoffs with OT win over Falcons
Week 17 of the NFL season continued Sunday with nine games, and we've got you covered with all the action! Here are the highlights.12 HOURS AGO
Jake Ferguson - Unremarkable day in loss Ferguson secured three of five targets for 18 yards and lost a fumble in the Cowboys' 41-7 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Impact Ferguson tied Jalen Tolbert for second on the Cowboys in receptions and was also the runner-up in targets, but he wasn't able to parlay his targets into any meaningful production. Additionally, the third-year tight end's second-quarter fumble at the Cowboys' 36-yard line following a six-yard grab helped set up an Eagles field goal while the game was still within reach for Dallas. Ferguson will look to close out the season in much better fashion in Week 18 against the Commanders.

Jalen Tolbert - Catches touchdown in loss Tolbert brought in three of four targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 41-7 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Impact Tolbert recorded his seventh touchdown of the campaign on a four-yard grab with just under six minutes remaining in the first quarter, a catch that served as the highlight of his afternoon. The third-year pro battled through a finger injury to suit up Sunday, and he served as the No. 2 receiver in the Cowboys' first game without CeeDee Lamb (IR-shoulder). Tolbert will face an inconsistent Commanders secondary in a Week 18 home matchup to close out the season.

Brandin Cooks - Leads pass catchers in loss Cooks brought in four of eight targets for 52 yards in the Cowboys' 41-7 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Impact Cooks was unsurprisingly the leader across the board for the Cowboys in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon as Dallas played its first game without CeeDee Lamb (IR-shoulder). However, the extra attention from Cooper Rush, which resulted in season-high yardage and target totals for Cooks, still led to a modest fantasy afternoon overall in a game that progressively got away from Dallas. Cooks should have an elevated role again during the Week 18 home regular-season finale against the Commanders.

Rico Dowdle - Hits season milestone in loss Dowdle rushed 23 times for 104 yards and brought in his only target for four yards in the Cowboys' 41-7 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Impact Dowdle was able to bounce back from a difficult night against the Buccaneers' stingy run defense in Week 16, eclipsing the 100-yard mark for the fourth time in the last five games. The productive day also pushed Dowdle over the 1,000-yard threshold for the season, a particularly noteworthy accomplishment considering he didn't have a consistent grasp of the lead-back role over the first half of the season. Dowdle's fourth-quarter fumble at Eagles' 10-yard line was costly in terms of both costing the Cowboys points and leading to an eventual Philadelphia TD, but the fourth-year pro should have a good chance of finishing the season in productive fashion against the Commanders in Week 18.

Cooper Rush - Rough showing in blowout loss Rush completed 15 of 28 passes for 147 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and rushed once for two yards in the Cowboys' 41-7 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Impact Rush struggled to get much going against a talented Eagles defense while operating without top target CeeDee Lamb (IR-shoulder), throwing multiple interceptions for the first time this season. Rush also did extend his streak of games with at least one touchdown pass to seven when he connected with Jalen Tolbert from seven yards out in the first quarter to atone for the pick-six he'd thrown on the opening possession of the contest. Sunday's poor showing aside, Rush has been solid overall since Dak Prescott (hamstring) was lost for the season, and he'll have a chance to close out the 2024 campaign on a better note when he faces a vulnerable Commanders secondary in Week 18.

T.J. Bass - Inactive Sunday Bass (thigh) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Eagles.
Impact The offensive guard has not practiced since suffering the thigh injury in the Cowboys' Week 15 win over the Panthers. With Zack Martin (ankle) on injured reserve, Dallas only has two healthy guards in Tyler Smith and Brock Hoffman.
23 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Asim Richards - Good to go for Week 17 Richards (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Impact Richards was activated off injured reserve Saturday, and the 2023 fifth-round pick will return Sunday from a four-game absence due to a high-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 12 against Washington. Richards will provide depth for the Cowboys' offensive line in his return.
23 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Chuma Edoga - Will play against Philadelphia Edoga (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Impact Edoga popped up on Thursday's injury report as a DNP due to a toe injury. He was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday, and he's done enough over the weekend to be cleared to start at left tackle in Sunday's NFC East clash.
23 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Deuce Vaughn - Healthy scratch Sunday Vaughn (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Impact The 2023 sixth-round pick finds himself as the third man on the depth chart behind Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott. Vaughn has not played in a game since Week 11 against Houston. He has 11 carries for 33 yards and no touchdowns this season.
23 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Princeton Fant - Inactive Sunday Fant (calf) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Eagles.
Impact The tight end was added to the injury report Saturday with the calf issue. Fant has yet to record a target in seven games this season. Jake Ferguson, Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford should round out the tight end depth chart in his absence.
23 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Nick Vigil - Good to go for Week 17 Vigil (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Impact Vigil opened the week with consecutive DNPs due to a foot injury he likely picked up during Dallas' Week 16 win over Tampa Bay. He was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday, and he has progressed enough in his recovery to suit up Sunday. Vigil registered a season-high 10 combined tackles in Week 16.

Jalen Brooks - Will play against Philadelphia Brooks (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 2023 seventh-round pick was sidelined for the Cowboys' Week 16 win over the Buccaneers due to a knee injury. Brooks was able to log consecutive practices to end the week, and he has progressed enough in his recovery to play Sunday. Brooks has an opportunity to take on the No. 3 wide receiver role for the final two games of the regular season after CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Brooks has caught 11 passes on 29 targets for 165 yards and one touchdown through 12 regular-season games.

Eric Kendricks - Active for Week 17 Kendricks (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Impact After not playing in Week 16, Kendricks didn't practice Wednesday before logging limited sessions Thursday and Friday. Even with Dallas out of playoff contention, the veteran linebacker will suit up for Sunday's divisional showdown. Over 13 appearances this season, Kendricks has recorded 124 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, three pass defenses, two interceptions, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
