Coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday that Schoonmaker (hamstring) could miss the entirety of OTAs due to a new injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Schoonmaker is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, though per Todd Archer of ESPN.com, McCarthy confirmed that his rehab from shoulder surgery has gone well. The 2023 second-round pick has had issues staying healthy in his young career, having missed time last spring due to a foot issue, though he did play all 17 games as a rookie despite battling a shoulder issue.
Schoonmaker (shoulder) is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery and expected to be ready for training camp, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports. Schoonmaker is coming off a quiet rookie campaign, in which he secured just eight of 15 targets for 65 yards and two touchdowns over 17 regular-season appearances. While he didn't miss time or make regular appearances on the injury report, it appears the 2023 second-round pick was hampered by a shoulder issue in that stretch. With another offseason to get acquainted to Dallas' offense and build chemistry with quarterback Dak Prescott, Schoonmaker will need to improve his production totals during the 2024 season in order to retain any real optimism about his development, at least for fantasy purposes.
The rookie tight end opened the scoring late in the first quarter on an 18-yard TD toss from Dal Prescott, setting the tone in a 33-10 victory. Schoonmaker has caught only five passes on 11 targets through his first 10 NFL games, but two of them have turned into touchdowns. He remains behind Jake Ferguson on the depth chart, but Schhonmaker is teasing the upside that made him a second-round pick in a 2023 draft class that is already living up to its billing as one of the most talented TE groups in history.
