Hendershot caught his only target for a 10-yard gain in Saturday's 26-19 preseason loss to the Chargers.
The third-year tight end has been dealing with a shoulder injury for most of training camp, but Hendershot was able to play in the Cowboys' preseason finale and haul in his lone pass late in the first quarter. With Jake Ferguson and 2023 second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker locked in atop the tight end depth chart, Hendershot is in a fierce battle with John Stephens, Brevyn Spann-Ford and others for one of the team's final roster spots.
