Hendershot (ankle) had surgery after the Cowboys' season ended, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The depth tight end should be available once the team's offseason program begins in the spring, per Archer. Hendershot caught four passes for 38 yards and no touchdowns in eight games this season.

Hendershot (foot) caught four of seven targets for 38 yards in eight regular-season games in 2023.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year tight end had trouble staying healthy, and Hendershot's usage as a receiver declined even when he was in the lineup as Jake Ferguson had a breakout season. With Luke Schoonmaker likely to take on a bigger role in 2024 as well, there don't figure to be many snaps or targets left over for Hendershot next season.

Hendershot was seen with a walking boot on his right foot following Dallas' wild-card loss to Green Bay on Sunday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hendershot suffered a foot injury after failing to record any stats during Sunday's loss. The 24-year-old will now focus on getting healthy ahead of next season.

Hendershot (ankle) rejoined the active roster Wednesday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hendershot was designated to return from IR on Nov. 15, so his 21-day window to practice with the team was up. If he wasn't placed back on the 53-man roster Wednesday, he would have been forced back on injured reserve and missed the remainder of the season. However, the Indiana product has been logging full practices the last three weeks and should be good to go Sunday against the Eagles.

Dallas did not activate Hendershot (ankle) from its injured reserve list for Thursday's game versus the Seahawks, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

There seemed to be some promise that Hendershot might be available for Week 13 after he was a full participant at practice Wednesday, but in the end, he'll miss his ninth straight game Thursday. It appears the Cowboys will wait until Week 14 to activate him instead.

Hendershot (ankle) practiced in full Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hendershot was designated to return from IR two weeks ago and has been practicing in full with the team ever since. However, the Indiana product has still not been moved to the 53-man roster and has a week until he needs to be, which will leave his status for Thursday's game against the Seahawks up in the air.

Hendershot (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hendershot was designated to return from injured reserve almost two weeks ago, and he's now logged his second consecutive full practice. The second-year tight end has only appeared in three games for Dallas this season, and he must be activated to the team's active roster in order to suit up for Week 13's contest.

Hendershot (ankle) was a full participant in Dallas' practice Monday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hendershot has been on injured reserve since October but is now closer to making his return. The 24-year-old, who was designated to return from IR on Nov. 15, has a chance to be activated in time to play Thursday versus the Seahawks. Over three games this season, Hendershot has caught one of his two targets for just three yards.

Hendershot (ankle) said he hopes to return from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game against the Commanders, but the Cowboys may wait one more week before activating him, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hendershot was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, with the move opening up a 21-day window for him to practice with the team before he would need to be activated. He was able to log full practices last week before being held out ahead of Sunday's win over the Panthers. With Dallas facing a quick turnaround for Week 12, the team may opt to be patient and wait for Week 13 to bring Hendershot back into the fold as a depth option at tight end.

Hendershot (ankle) was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports, and the tight end was a full participant in practice, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Hendershot spent the minimum of four weeks on injured reserve before being designated to return. The Indiana product told Gehlken that he feels fresh, although he's not sure if he'll be able to return Sunday against the Panthers, so despite his full participation in practice, he should be considered questionable for the game.
