Jake Ferguson Not yet ruled out for Week 2
Published: 2024-09-09 09:10:28
Ferguson (knee) hasn't been ruled out to play Week 2 versus the Saints despite being diagnosed with an MCL sprain and bone bruise in his knee Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
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 it still seems likeliest that the starting tight end misses 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 a candidate to start at tight end at home against the Saints in Week 2.
