The Cowboys designated Fehoko to return from injured reserve Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
What it means:
Fehoko was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury back on Oct. 15, but Thursday now accounts as the second-year wide receiver's first opportunity to resume practicing and possibly join Dallas' active roster prior to Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the 49ers. If Fehoko is eventually promoted prior to this weekend's contest, he likely won't top 10 offensive snaps.
Dallas placed Fehoko (shoulder) on its injured reserve list Saturday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
What it means:
Fehoko was forced out of the Cowboys' win at the Rams in Week 5 early with a shoulder injury, and he'll now be forced to miss at least the next four games as he recovers. KaVontae Turpin should see an increase in reps until Fehoko returns.
Fehoko (shoulder) was listed as a full participant during Dallas' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
What it means:
Fehoko recorded one reception (one target) for 12 yards over two offensive snaps before exiting Monday's win over the Giants with a shoulder injury. While the Cowboys did not hold a full practice Wednesday, the second-year wideout seems to have quickly overcome this issue. Fehoko has played 23 offensive snaps through the first three games of the season, though his usage could diminish even further if Michael Gallup, who is nearing a return from his torn ACL, is available to play in Week 4.
Fehoko (shoulder) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Giants, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports
What it means:
Fehoko recorded one reception (one target) for 12 yards before sustaining a shoulder injury at some point during Monday's contest, though the exact nature and severity of this issue are still unclear. In the second-year wideout's absence, Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin should see increased targets in Week 3.
Fehoko caught two of five targets for eight yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason game against the Seahawks.
What it means:
The 2021 fifth-round pick wasn't exactly consistent in this contest, but the same could be said for the entire Dallas passing game as a patchwork offensive line couldn't give the team's quarterbacks many clean pockets. Fehoko was on the other end of a one-yard TD toss from Will Grier in the second quarter on a designed rollout though, and overall he has looked much more comfortable heading into his second NFL campaign. Fehoko will be competing with Jalen Tolbert, Noah Brown (toe), Dennis Houston and KaVontae Turpin for snaps and targets behind CeeDee Lamb (foot) in Week 1, as that group of unproven wideouts try to secure their spots on the depth chart before Michael Gallup (knee) and James Washington (foot) return to action.
Fehoko has been one of the standout players in practice the last few days, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
What it means:
The 2021 fifth-round pick didn't see a target as a rookie and was used only sparingly on special teams, but Fehoko seems a lot more comfortable heading into his second NFL season and his athleticism has been showing up in camp. There are a lot of snaps and targets up for grabs at wide receiver in Dallas behind CeeDee Lamb and rookie Jalen Tolbert to begin the season, with Fehoko, Noah Brown, Dennis Houston, T.J. Vasher and KaVontae Turpin all jockeying for position on the depth chart, but Fehoko appears to be the one with the most momentum heading into Saturday's preseason opener against the Broncos.
