Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson sustained a bone bruise and a minor MCL sprain during the team’s Week 1 victory over the Cleveland Browns. The injury occurred in the third quarter when Ferguson landed awkwardly after attempting to hurdle a defender.
Despite initial concerns of a more severe injury, Ferguson’s ACL remains intact, and he is considered week-to-week. There is optimism about his potential availability for the upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints.
Ferguson has expressed a positive outlook, reporting “zero pain” and indicating a desire to play if he can perform at the team’s standard. He emphasized the importance of not compromising the team’s performance by playing if he’s unable to meet expectations.
In the event Ferguson is unable to play, backup tight end Luke Schoonmaker is expected to step into the starting role.
