Jake Ferguson - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Removed from injury report Ferguson (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Ferguson was a full practice participant Friday, upgrading from limited the previous two days. He missed only one game after suffering an MCL sprain Week 1, giving QB Dak Prescott his full complement of pass catchers with WR CeeDee Lamb (ankle) also avoiding a Week 3 injury designation. Ferguson profiles as a mid-to-low-range fantasy starter at the production-lacking TE position even with some added risk of an in-game injury/setback.

Remains limited Thursday Ferguson (knee) practiced in a limited fashion, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ferguson has cobbled together back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 3 prep as he seeks to miss just one game due to the MCL sprain and bone bruise that he sustained in his left knee in the Cowboys' season-opening win at Cleveland. Friday's injury report will unveil whether he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Ravens.

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Officially limited Wednesday Ferguson (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Ferguson emerged from Week 1 with an MCL sprain in his left knee, which didn't allow him to practice last week. A doubtful designation ultimately forecast his lack of availability this past Sunday against the Saints, but his ability to mix into drills to kick off Week 3 prep indicates he's making progress in his recovery. How Ferguson fares Thursday and Friday likely will be the determining factors in his chances to return to action Sunday versus the Ravens.

Returns to practice Ferguson (knee) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Ferguson is practicing in full pads Wednesday, per Saad Yousuf of The Athletic, an indication that he's indeed trending in the right direction to play Sunday versus the Ravens. The starting tight end was forced to sit out Week 2 due to a left MCL sprain and bone bruise. Wednesday's official injury report will reveal whether Ferguson is currently limited in practice or has managed to participate without restrictions.

Impact Ferguson suffered an MCL sprain and bone bruise in his left knee Week 1, but it looks like those injuries will only force him to log a one-game absence. More information about Ferguson's recovery progress will arrive Wednesday, at the latest, when Dallas' first official injury report of Week 3 is released. Luke Schoonmaker looked solid while logging a spot start Week 2, catching all six of his targets for 43 yards, so if there are any lingering concerns about Ferguson's health whatsoever, the Cowboys should feel confident allowing him as much rest as is needed.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Not suiting up Sunday Ferguson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact Ferguson's absence for the Week 2 matchup comes as little surprise after he was unable to log any practice activity Wednesday through Friday after suffering an MCL sprain and bone bruise in his knee during the Cowboys' 33-17 win over the Browns this past Sunday. Luke Schoonmaker is likely to step in as the Cowboys' starting tight end Sunday, though he probably can't be counted on to take on as much involvement in the passing game as Ferguson usually handles after producing a modest 8-65-2 receiving line on 15 targets over 348 offensive snaps as a rookie last season. Ferguson will hope to get back on the practice field in some fashion during the upcoming week with the aim of returning to action next Sunday versus the Ravens.

Doubtful for Sunday Ferguson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Coach Mike McCarthy said Friday morning that Ferguson would miss another practice but could still play in Sunday's game if he returned for a light practice Saturday and looked comfortable working out. The Cowboys apparently consider it highly unlikely, setting up Luke Schoonmaker and undrafted rookie Brevyn Spann-Ford to fill in at tight end ahead of the 1:00 ET kickoff. Ferguson is recovering from an MCL sprain suffered in the Week 1 win over Cleveland, and while he said the pain subsided quickly, he may still be bothered by stiffness and/or swelling.

Impact Ferguson hasn't practiced this week, even though he said Wednesday that his pain was a "zero" on a 1-10 scale. Playing in a game seven days after suffering an MCL sprain has always been somewhat of a long shot, but it's at least promising for Ferguson's Week 3 availability that the Cowboys haven't yet ruled him out for Week 2. It sounds like Ferguson will be listed as questionable or doubtful on the final injury report Friday afternoon.

Unable to practice Thursday Ferguson (knee) did not practice Thursday, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Ferguson was spotted working off to the side with the rehab group Thursday, per Ed Werder of Channel 8 Dallas. The starting tight end still hasn't been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints despite having suffered a bone bruise and MCL sprain Week 1, but for a real chance at suiting up he may have to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday, prior to the Cowboys assigning him an official injury designation for the weekend.

No practice, but feeling good Ferguson (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact While he never stood much chance to practice three days after suffering a bone bruise and MCL sprain, Ferguson told reporters Wednesday that his pain is already down to a "zero" on a 1-10 scale, per Patrick Walker of dallascowboys.com. The injury clearly isn't as bad as it initially looked when he made an early exit from the Week 1 win at Cleveland, with Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reporting Wednesday that coach Mike McCarthy is optimistic about Ferguson's chances of playing against the Saints this Sunday. Even if he doesn't end up playing this week, Ferguson should avoid a stint on injured reserve and push to return within the next few games.

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, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Ferguson at least has avoided a more severe knee injury, but an MCL sprain will still likely result in the starting tight end missing time. Packers QB Jordan Love also sustained an MCL sprain Week 1 and is expected to miss 3-to-6 weeks, but at this point Ferguson's specific recovery timeline remains undisclosed. Rapoport adds that Ferguson also is dealing with a bone bruise and is considered week-to-week. Luke Schoonmaker could step into the starting role Week 2 versus the Saints, but it was fullback Hunter Luepke who saw increased target volume Sunday against the Browns after Ferguson left the game.

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.

Impact Ferguson has at least avoided a more severe knee injury, but an MCL sprain will still likely result in the starting tight end missing time. 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.
