Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Officially limited Wednesday
Jake Ferguson (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.Ferguson emerged from Week 1 with an MCL sprain and bone bruise in his left knee, which didn't allow him to practice last week. A doubtful designation ultimately forecast his lack of availability ahead of an eventual loss to the Saints last Sunday, but his ability to mix into drills to kick off Week 3 prep indicates he's making progress in his recovery. The extent of Ferguson's participation Thursday and Friday likely will be the determining factors in his chances to return to action Sunday versus the Ravens.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Expected back Week 3
Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Monday that Jake Ferguson (knee) was "really close" to playing in Sunday's 44-19 loss to the Saints and that "the expectation is for him to be back" Week 3 against the Ravens, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.Ferguson suffered an MCL sprain and bone bruise in his left knee Week 1, but the injury looks as though it will cost him just one game. More information about Ferguson's recovery progress will arrive Wednesday, at the latest, when Dallas' first official injury report of Week 3 is released. Luke Schoonmaker looked solid while logging a spot start at tight end Week 2, catching all six of his targets for 43 yards. If there are any lingering concerns about Ferguson's health whatsoever, the Cowboys should feel confident in turning to Schoonmaker again if Ferguson needs more time off to heal up from the knee injury.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Not suiting up Sunday
Jake Ferguson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.Ferguson's absence for the Week 2 matchup comes as little surprise considering he was unable to log any practice activity Wednesday through Friday after suffering an MCL sprain and bone bruise in his left knee during the Dallas Cowboys' 33-17 win over the Browns this past Sunday. Luke Schoonmaker is likely to step in as the Cowboys' starting tight end Sunday, though he probably can't be counted on to take on as much involvement in the passing game as Ferguson usually handles after producing a modest 8-65-2 receiving line on 15 targets over 348 offensive snaps as a rookie last season. Ferguson will hope to get back on the practice field in some fashion during the upcoming week with the aim of returning to action next Sunday versus the Ravens.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Doubtful for Sunday
Jake Ferguson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.Coach Mike McCarthy said Friday morning that Ferguson would miss another practice but could still play in Sunday's game if he returns for a light practice Saturday and looks comfortable working out. The Dallas Cowboys apparently consider it highly unlikely, setting up Luke Schoonmaker and undrafted rookie Brevyn Spann-Ford to fill in at tight end ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Ferguson is recovering from an MCL sprain suffered in the Week 1 win over Cleveland, and while he said the pain subsided quickly, he may still be bothered by stiffness and/or swelling.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Misses practice, could still play
Jake Ferguson (knee) didn't practice Friday, but coach Mike McCarthy said the tight end still could play Sunday against the Saints if he practices Saturday, Patrick Walker of the Dallas Cowboys' official site reports.Ferguson hasn't practiced this week, even though he said Wednesday that his pain was a "zero" on a 1-10 scale, per Walker. Playing in a game seven days after suffering an MCL sprain has always been somewhat of a long shot, but it's at least promising for Ferguson's Week 3 availability that the Cowboys haven't yet ruled him out for Week 2. It sounds like Ferguson will be listed as questionable or doubtful on the final injury report Friday afternoon.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Unable to practice Thursday
Jake Ferguson (knee) did not practice Thursday, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.Ferguson was spotted working off to the side with the rehab group Thursday, per Ed Werder of Channel 8 Dallas. The starting tight end still hasn't been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints despite having suffered a bone bruise and MCL sprain Week 1, but for a real chance at suiting up he may have to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday, prior to the Dallas Cowboys assigning him an official injury designation for the weekend.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Sits out practice, but feeling good
Jake Ferguson (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.While he never stood much chance to practice three days after suffering a bone bruise and MCL sprain, Ferguson said Wednesday that his pain is already down to a "zero" on a 1-to-10 scale, per Patrick Walker of the Dallas Cowboys' official site. The injury clearly isn't as bad as it initially looked when he made an early exit from the Week 1 win at Cleveland, with Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reporting Wednesday that head coach Mike McCarthy is optimistic about Ferguson's chances of playing against the Saints this Sunday. Even if he doesn't end up playing this week, Ferguson should avoid a stint on injured reserve and push to return within the next few games.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Optimism for Week 2
Head coach Mike McCarthy said that Jake Ferguson (knee) will work with the rehab group at practice Wednesday, and the Dallas Cowboys remain optimistic about his chances of playing Sunday against the Saints, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.Ferguson suffered an MCL sprain and bone bruise in his knee during Dallas' win over the Browns in Week 1, but he's surprisingly not yet been ruled out for Week 2. The tight end will have two more opportunities to upgrade his practice participation before receiving an injury designation for the weekend. If Ferguson is able to make enough progress, the Cowboys may not hesitate to clear him to play versus New Orleans. Backup tight end Luke Schoonmaker and fullback Hunter Luepke will both be candidates to handle increased offensive reps in the event that Ferguson misses any time.

Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Not yet ruled out for Week 2
Jake Ferguson hasn't been ruled out to play Sunday versus the Saints, despite being diagnosed with an MCL sprain and bone bruise in his knee Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.Ferguson's MCL sprain seems to be on the minor end if the Dallas Cowboys still consider him a candidate to suit up Week 2, though the team's top tight end appears more likely than not to miss time. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network labeled Ferguson week-to-week, and even the shorter recovery timeframes for MCL injuries usually require two weeks of rest. Fullback Hunter Luepke benefited from increased target volume Week 1 versus Cleveland after Ferguson left the field, but 2023 second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker also seems to be a candidate to start at tight end at home against the Saints on Sunday.
