Ferguson caught 19 of 22 targets for 174 yards and a touchdown over 16 regular-season games in 2022.
What it means:
A fourth-round pick out of Wisconsin in the 2022 NFL Draft, Ferguson most productive performance came in Week 6 when he caught four of six targets for 40 yards and a TD. Stuck behind Dalton Schultz when the veteran tight end was healthy, Ferguson only got occasional chances to flash his upside and athleticism as a pass-catcher but he tended to make the most of them -- he landed on highlight reels during a Thanksgiving Day win over the Giants with a 30-year catch-and-run that featured both a leaping grab and a hurdle over safety Jason Pinnock. Schultz is an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and if Dallas elects not to bring him back, Ferguson could head into 2023 as the team's No. 1 tight end.
Ferguson caught his only target for 24 yards in Saturday's win over the Eagles.
What it means:
After missing last week's game due to a concussion, Ferguson looked 100 percent in his return and displayed his athleticism with a nifty spin move that turned a short pass into a big gain in the fourth quarter. The rookie tight end remains behind Dalton Schultz on the depth chart, but with the veteran headed for free agency in the offseason, Ferguson has shown flashes of being ready for a much bigger role in 2023.
Ferguson (concussion) has been deemed active for Saturday's game versus Philadelphia, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
What it means:
Ferguson missed last Sunday's loss to Jacksonville after sustaining a concussion during the Week 14 win over Houston. The rookie tight end was then limited in each practice during Week 16 prep, though he apparently cleared protocols ahead of Saturday. Ferguson has caught 16 of 19 targets for 139 yards and two touchdowns this season, and he should reprise his role as Dallas' No. 2 tight end behind Dalton Schultz.
Ferguson (concussion) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
What it means:
After stringing together three consecutive capped sessions due to the concussion he sustained back in Week 14 versus Houston, Ferguson is now in danger of missing a second consecutive game when the Cowboys host Philadelphia on Saturday. If the rookie is eventually never afforded the green light this weekend, then Peyton Hendershot should operate as the team's No. 2 tight end behind starter Dalton Schultz.
Ferguson (concussion) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
What it means:
Ferguson missed last weekend's matchup against Jacksonville as a result of the concussion he suffered the week prior versus Houston, and he's since opened Week 16 prep as a limited participant during Tuesday's walk-through session. If the rookie is eventually unable to clear protocols prior to Saturday's contest against Philadelphia, then Peyton Hendershot and Sean McKeon would be in line to serve as Dalton Schultz's top backup options for the time being.
Ferguson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
What it means:
With Ferguson unable to practice all week, Peyton Hendershot and Sean McKeon have been left for depth behind starter Dalton Schultz. Ferguson's next chance to play will be a Saturday game against the Eagles in Week 16 (Dec. 24).
