Initial tests on Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson's left knee did not reveal any ACL damage, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. X-Rays also came back clean, but Ferguson is still scheduled for an MRI on Monday.

What They're Saying

QB Dak Prescott on Ferguson's injury: “I think we dodged a big one.”

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

It sounds like Ferguson avoided a season-ending injury, but he might still be looking at a multi-week absence. We should learn more on Monday.

Ferguson's loss would be big. He accounted for 16.6% of Cowboys targets, 16.3% of the receiving yards, and 13.9% of the receiving TDs last year. TE Luke Schoonmaker, who caught just eight balls as a rookie last year, is next up on the depth chart.

Ferguson's absence would likely just mean more targets for Dallas' WRs and RBs.
