Ferguson (concussion) has been deemed active for Saturday's game versus Philadelphia, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.
EDGE Analysis
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.
EDGE Analysis
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.
EDGE Analysis
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).

Ferguson (concussion) was a non-participant in practice Thursday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson will need to move further along in the league's concussion protocols process, before he is able to return to the practice field. If he is unable to clear those protocols in time, Peyton Hendershot will likely climb to No. 2 on the teams positional depth chart, while Sean McKeon would move up to No. 3.

Ferguson was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to a concussion sustained in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Texans, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was originally reported that Ferguson exited the game with a neck injury, so this is the first clarification he suffered a concussion. He will now need to clear the league's protocols in order to suit up for Dallas' Week 15 matchup with the Jaguars. If he is ultimately unable to go, Peyton Hendershot would presumably be the No. 2 tight end behind Dalton Schultz.

Ferguson (head/neck) was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Texans, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson did not log a statistic before he sustained a pair of injuries Sunday, though the exact nature of these issues is still unknown. The rookie has caught 16 of his 19 targets for 139 yards and two touchdowns as the Cowboys' No. 2 tight end through the first 12 games of the season. With Ferguson sidelined, Peyton Hendershot and Sean McKeon will likely step into bigger roles behind Dalton Schultz.

Ferguson caught both his targets for minus-1 yard in Sunday's win over the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
The Cowboys racked up 54 points, but Ferguson didn't benefit from the offensive eruption. The rookie tight end has caught all seven of his targets over the last three games for 71 yards, but even in a TE Premium format he has little fantasy value while Dalton Schultz is healthy.

Ferguson caught all three of his targets for a career-high 57 yards in Thursday's 28-20 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Thirty of those yards came on a spectacular catch-and-run early in the fourth quarter that saw the rookie tight end hurdle one New York defender before lowering his shoulders and trucking another for an extra few yards. Ferguson's fantasy value is low now that Dalton Schultz is fully healthy, but he's showing impressive glimpses of his potential if he grows into the starting role down the road.

Ferguson (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Green Bay, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson's availability for the Week 10 contest was temporarily put in flux after the illness prevented him from practicing Thursday, but he was able to return to the field Friday as a full participant. The fourth-round rookie out of Wisconsin is thus on track to play Sunday, when he'll likely operate as the top backup to starting tight end Dalton Schultz. Ferguson most recently played more than half of the Cowboys' snaps on offense in the team's 49-29 win over the Bears in Week 8 and scored his second touchdown of the season in the process, but his playing time could drop off a bit if the Packers are able to keep Sunday's game more competitive than the Bears did.
