There seemed to be some promise that Hendershot might be available for Week 13 after he was a full participant at practice Wednesday, but in the end, he'll miss his ninth straight game Thursday. It appears the Cowboys will wait until Week 14 to activate him instead.
Hendershot was designated to return from IR two weeks ago and has been practicing in full with the team ever since. However, the Indiana product has still not been moved to the 53-man roster and has a week until he needs to be, which will leave his status for Thursday's game against the Seahawks up in the air.
Hendershot was designated to return from injured reserve almost two weeks ago, and he's now logged his second consecutive full practice. The second-year tight end has only appeared in three games for Dallas this season, and he must be activated to the team's active roster in order to suit up for Week 13's contest.
Hendershot has been on injured reserve since October but is now closer to making his return. The 24-year-old, who was designated to return from IR on Nov. 15, has a chance to be activated in time to play Thursday versus the Seahawks. Over three games this season, Hendershot has caught one of his two targets for just three yards.
Hendershot was designated to return from IR last Wednesday, with the move opening up a 21-day window for him to practice with the team before he would need to be activated. He was able to log full practices last week before being held out ahead of Sunday's win over the Panthers. With Dallas facing a quick turnaround for Week 12, the team may opt to be patient and wait for Week 13 to bring Hendershot back into the fold as a depth option at tight end.
