Coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Ferguson remains in the concussion protocol, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports. Ferguson made an early exit from the Cowboys' Week 11 loss to the Texans due to a concussion, which resulted in inactive status Sunday at Washington. On Monday, executive vice president Stephen Jones told 105.3 The Fan that Ferguson is "a little more of a long shot" to play Thursday against the Giants, which was corroborated by his continued listing of DNP on Monday's practice estimate. Assuming Ferguson ends up missing a second game in a row later this week, Luke Schoonmaker (3-55-1 line on four targets, 65 percent snap share Sunday) and Brevyn Spann-Ford (2-24-0 on two targets, 50 percent) will continue to man tight end for Dallas.

Coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Ferguson remains in the concussion protocol, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports. Ferguson made an early exit from the Cowboys' Week 11 loss to the Texans due to a concussion, which resulted in inactive status Sunday at Washington. On Monday, executive vice president Stephen Jones told 105.3 The Fan that Ferguson is "a little more of a long shot" to play Thursday against the Giants, which was corroborated by his continued listing of DNP on Monday's practice estimate. Assuming Ferguson ends up missing a second game in a row later this week, Luke Schoonmaker (3-55-1 line on four targets, 65 percent snap share Sunday) and Brevyn Spann-Ford (2-24-0 on two targets, 50 percent) will continue to man tight end for Dallas.
Speaking on Monday, Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said Ferguson (concussion) is "a little more of a long shot" to play Thursday against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Ferguson was concussed in Week 11 against the Texans and just missed Sunday's Week 12 win over the Commanders after not practicing at all last week. The Cowboys now have a quick Week 13 turnaround, hosting the division-rival Giants on Thanksgiving Day. Luke Schoonmaker played 65 percent of the offensive snaps against Washington and posted a useful 3-55-1 receiving line on four targets in the victory. He and Brevyn Spann-Ford (50 percent and 2-24-0) would again handle tight end duties without Ferguson.
Ferguson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Washington, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Ferguson hasn't practiced since entering concussion protocol in the first quarter of Monday's loss to Houston. His absence for most of the night left more opportunities for both Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford, with Schoonmaker catching six of 10 targets for 56 yards on 53 percent snap share while Spann-Ford caught four of five targets for 32 yards on 49 percent of snaps. Ferguson's next chance to play will be a Thanksgiving home game against the Giants on Nov. 28.
Ferguson (concussion) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports. Ferguson has yet to make any notable progress through the protocol for head injuries after sustaining a concussion in the first quarter of Monday's eventual loss to the Texans. Coach Mike McCarthy relayed Tuesday that Ferguson is unlikely to be available for Sunday's game in Washington, and the Cowboys could confirm as much once they post their final practice report Friday. Fellow TE Luke Schoonmaker would stand to benefit if Ferguson is sidelined this weekend.
Ferguson (concussion) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. This comes as no surprise following the concussion that Ferguson sustained early on during Monday's defeat to the Texans. Coach Mike McCarthy relayed to Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday that Ferguson would be "hard-pressed" to play Sunday in Washington, but any progress he's able to display Thursday or Friday may give a better sense of when he'll be available to the Cowboys offense again. Meanwhile, Luke Schoonmaker was the main beneficiary among Dallas tight ends Monday, gathering in six of 10 targets for 56 yards.
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged Tuesday that Ferguson (concussion) "will be hard pressed" to play Sunday at Washington, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. Ferguson entered the concussion protocol during the first half of Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans. While the Cowboys aren't yet closing the door on the tight end clearing the five-step protocol prior to Sunday, he won't be helped by the fact that Dallas faces a shorter week of prep time than usual. If Ferguson ends up being ruled out for Week 12, Luke Schoonmaker would likely step in as the starting tight end after playing 43 snaps and finishing with six catches for 56 yards on 10 targets in the loss to Houston.
Ferguson has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against Houston due to a concussion, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Ferguson was hurt in the first quarter and subsequently entered concussion protocol. The Cowboys have since ruled their No. 1 tight end out for the remainder of the contest. Ferguson finishes Week 11 with one catch (on one target) for 11 yards. Luke Schoonmaker likely will take on the majority of Dallas' tight-end snaps in Ferguson's stead.
Ferguson (illness) was a full practice participant Friday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Ferguson will be fine for Monday's matchup with Houston, having missed just one practice due to an illness. The real concern for fantasy is QB play, after Cooper Rush threw for 45 yards last week in his first start of the season.
Ferguson didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Ferguson has caught multiple passes in all eight appearances this season en route to a 42-358-0 line on 57 targets. With Dak Prescott (hamstring) out for the season, Ferguson now is on the receiving end of passes from Cooper Rush, but first the tight end will need to get past his current ailment in order to make himself available Monday against the Texans.
