Cowboys Confident TE Jake Ferguson (Knee) Stayed Away from Serious Injury

Breaking News 🔥🔥:  The Dallas Cowboys are breathing a sigh of relief after tight end Jake Ferguson suffered a knee injury in Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns.

Ferguson, who had a breakout season in 2023 with 761 yards and five touchdowns, left the game in the second half and did not return.

Initially, there were concerns that the injury could be serious, but Ferguson himself has said that he believes it’s just a hyperextension, and he could have even continued playing if needed.

This optimism is also shared by his teammates and coaches, with quarterback Dak Prescott saying, “I think we dodged a big one” .

Ferguson is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury .

While the results of the MRI are still unknown, the fact that Ferguson was seen walking with a limp but without crutches is a good sign .

The Cowboys’ confidence in Ferguson’s recovery is also reflected in their actions, as they have not yet made any moves to sign another tight end or make any other roster changes .

If Ferguson does miss some time, the Cowboys will likely turn to second-year tight end Luke Schoonmaker to fill the gap .

Schoonmaker was a second-round pick in 2023 but had a lackluster rookie year, so this could be an opportunity for him to step up and show his worth .

Overall, while the injury to Ferguson is certainly a concern, the Cowboys are confident that he will be back on the field soon, and in the meantime, they have a capable backup in Schoonmaker.
