Jake Ferguson: Everything you need to know

Ferguson caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Giants. Ferguson was able to play in Week 18 after opening the week limited at practice with a calf issue, but he was limited to just one catch for the second straight week. The tight end sputtered into the finish line this season, failing to reach 20 receiving yards in each of his final four contests. Ferguson completed his fourth campaign in Dallas having reeled in a career-high 82 passes on 102 targets for 600 yards and eight touchdowns over 17 regular-season contests, and he'll likely enter next year as the team's undisputed No. 1 tight end.

Ferguson (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Ferguson didn't finish last week's game but will be available for the season finale after upgrading to full practice participation Friday. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones noted that the team could remove key veterans at some point Sunday, but there hasn't been any hint of that from the coaching staff.

Ferguson (calf) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. After spending Wednesday's session on the side working with trainers, Ferguson showed some progress with the calf injury that knocked him out for the second half of last Thursday's win at Washington. It's unclear yet if he's in danger of missing Sunday's game at the Giants, but he's put together a modest 25-211-2 line on 34 targets in seven contests since the Cowboys' Week 10 bye.
