Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy on TE Jake Ferguson (knee): "Jake looked good today. I'd put him at a full practice (participation) assessment."

Looks like Ferguson should return Sunday against the Ravens after missing last Sunday's game.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Schoonmaker had a nice showing in a spot-start, hauling in all of his targets for a 6-43-0 stat line in Week 2. We would assume that he goes right back to his back-up role if Ferguson is a full go. Ferguson will return to his low-end TE1 projection against the Ravens.

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones on 1053 The Fan said TE Jake Ferguson (knee) was “real close” to playing yesterday.

“The expectation is for him to be back” this week Jones said via the post. While the Cowboys probably missed Ferguson, Schoonmaker stepped in and played pretty well in terms of fantasy production and finished with a line of 6-43-0 on six targets. The Cowboys play in a later afternoon game on Sunday so hopefully owners have plenty of time to adjust, but Ferguson seems to be pointing in the right direction at least as of now.

Jake Ferguson is officially doubtful for Sunday. John Stephens is out. All other Cowboys enter the game without a status designation.

Now locked in as the No. 2 pass-catcher, Brandin Cooks should be started as a WR3/4 anywhere you have him. Schoonmaker makes for a decent streaming option for managers looking to avoid a goose egg.

Jerry Jones says he’s optimistic about Jake Ferguson (knee) playing Sunday vs Saints.

The news about Ferguson continues to be on an upward trend since his injury on Sunday. Ferguson is dealing with a bone bruise and a minor sprain to his MCL, but over the last 24 hours there is a lot of optimism he'll be a go in Week 2. The Cowboys do have an early game on Sunday so owners will have plenty of time to adjust lineups either way. It's hard to imagine Ferguson will be at 100% but stranger things have happened. Injury reports should tell us more as the week goes on.

Jake Ferguson could still play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.

Ferguson was diagnosed with a bone bruise and a minor sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee suffered Sunday in Week 1 vs. the Browns, according to Archer. It's great news for owners as things didn't look so great for Ferguson less than a day ago. Ferguson may not be 100% for Week 2 even if he does play, so owners may still want to have a backup plan in place. We likely won't know a whole lot more until later in the week.

Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is going to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of his left knee injury, but X-rays were negative.

Todd Archer of ESPN reports Ferguson’s ACL is intact.

“I think we dodged a big one,” Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said, via Jon Machota of TheAthletic.com. “Talking to him, he gave me a lot of confidence that he’ll be OK.”

Ferguson caught three passes for 15 yards in Sunday’s win over the Browns. It's not clear if Ferguson will miss time, but owners should probably prepare as if he will. With Ferguson possibly out, Schoonmaker could be next up. Given Ferguson's potential in this offense, Schoonmaker could make for a productive fantasy player at the position as well if Ferguson does have to miss time, and is at least worth a look in deeper leagues.

Cowboys TE Luke Schoonmaker has a hamstring injury that is expected to sideline him throughout OTAs. He underwent shoulder surgery this offseason. Hamstring is now what is keeping him off the field. He missed his 2023 rookie spring with foot injury.

It seems likely that Ferguson will have the easy nod as the TE1 once again this season. He is currently ranked as a fringe top-10 option in our rankings.

The Texans are signing TE Dalton Schultz to a one-year deal worth up to $9 million. Schultz has 198 catches and 17 TDs over the past three seasons in Dallas. He’s still only 26.

So Schultz will remain in Texas and provide another option for the future 2nd-overall pick. The Texans have had intriguing names at the position over the years but never one that has consistently produced for fantasy. Hopefully Schultz changes that.
