Bad news for Dak Prescott ahead of the Week 2 game against the New Orleans Saints at AT&T Stadium: he may be without the help of Jake Ferguson. Ferguson has been listed as doubtful for Sunday’s home game. It’s worth noting that Ferguson played in the season opener and caught three passes from Prescott.
In Week 1 of the NFL season, Ferguson played a minor role as a starter against the Cleveland Browns. He made 3 receptions out of 5 targets from Dak Prescott, totaling 15 yards. His longest reception was a modest 7 yards. Despite not scoring any touchdowns, Ferguson contributed to the Cowboys’ 33-17 victory.
The Dallas Cowboys have other tight ends ready to step in if Ferguson is unable to play. On the roster are Luke Schoonmaker, Brevyn Spann-Ford, and John Stephens Jr. None of these players have yet recorded a touchdown this season.
Dak Prescott will need to find a way to adjust without Ferguson, but the team is confident they will find a suitable replacement, especially given the importance of having a player of Ferguson’s type for their upcoming home game against the Saints.
When did Ferguson join the Cowboys?
Ferguson has been with the Dallas Cowboys since 2022. His standout season came in 2023, where he scored 5 touchdowns in 16 games as a starter. That same year, he was named to the Pro Bowl and set a personal record with 761 receiving yards.
When is the Cowboys game against the Saints?
The game will take place on September 15 at 12:00 PM (CT). This will be the Cowboys’ first home game of the 2024 NFL season. After this match, they will remain at AT&T Stadium to prepare for their game against the Baltimore Ravens.
