Ferguson (concussion) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice.

Ferguson's absence from practice comes as no surprise after he exited Monday's loss to the Texans early after sustaining a concussion. Head coach Mike McCarthy told Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday that Ferguson would be "hard pressed" to play Sunday in Washington, but any progress the tight end is 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.
