Ferguson (concussion) participated in Wednesday's bonus walkthrough session, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dallas plays on Monday Night Football in Week 14, so the team didn't have an official practice Wednesday. Nonetheless, it was a positive sign for Ferguson's likelihood of returning to action against the Bengals on Monday that he was able to take part in what Moore deemed a "mock game." Ferguson has missed each of the Cowboys' past two contests after suffering a concussion in Week 11 against Houston, and though it's not clear whether he's been cleared through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, he'll have had extra time to recover between Weeks 13 and 14 given the upcoming Monday night matchup and the fact that Dallas' previous game was last Thursday.

Ferguson (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson thus will miss a second game in a row due to the concussion that he suffered in the first quarter of a Week 11 loss to the Texans. Considering he hasn't practiced since suffering the injury, he likely hasn't made much, if any, progress through league protocols. In any case, for as long as Ferguson is sidelined, Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford will continue to man TE for the Cowboys.

Ferguson (concussion) did not practice Tuesday, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson has registered back-to-back DNPs to open the week, and Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones already said Ferguson was "a little more of a long shot" to play Thursday against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reported Monday. Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford would again handle tight end duties if Ferguson isn't cleared to play.

Coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Ferguson remains in the concussion protocol, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson made an early exit from the Cowboys' Week 11 loss to the Texans due to a concussion, which resulted in inactive status Sunday at Washington. On Monday, executive vice president Stephen Jones told 105.3 The Fan that Ferguson is "a little more of a long shot" to play Thursday against the Giants, which was corroborated by his continued listing of DNP on Monday's practice estimate. Assuming Ferguson ends up missing a second game in a row later this week, Luke Schoonmaker (3-55-1 line on four targets, 65 percent snap share Sunday) and Brevyn Spann-Ford (2-24-0 on two targets, 50 percent) will continue to man tight end for Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson was concussed Week 11 against the Texans and just missed Sunday's Week 12 win over the Commanders after not practicing at all last week. The Cowboys now have a quick Week 13 turnaround, hosting the division rival Giants on Thanksgiving Day. Luke Schoonmaker played 65 percent of the offensive snaps against Washington and posted a useful 3-55-1 line on four targets in the victory. He and Brevyn Spann-Ford (50 percent, 2-24-0 line on two targets) again would handle TE duties without Ferguson.

Ferguson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Washington, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson hasn't practiced since entering concussion protocol in the first quarter of Monday's loss to Houston. His absence for most of the night left more opportunities for both Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford, with Schoonmaker catching six of 10 targets for 56 yards on 53 percent snap share while Spann-Ford caught four of five targets for 32 yards on 49 percent of snaps. Ferguson's next chance to play will be a Thanksgiving home game against the Giants on Nov. 28.

Ferguson (concussion) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson has yet to make any notable progress through the protocol for head injuries after sustaining a concussion in the first quarter of Monday's eventual loss to the Texans. Coach Mike McCarthy relayed Tuesday that Ferguson is unlikely to be available for Sunday's game in Washington, and the Cowboys could confirm as much once they post their final practice report Friday. Fellow TE Luke Schoonmaker would stand to benefit if Ferguson is sidelined this weekend.

Ferguson (concussion) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

This comes as no surprise following the concussion that Ferguson sustained early on during Monday's defeat to the Texans. Coach Mike McCarthy relayed to Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday that Ferguson would be "hard-pressed" to play Sunday in Washington, but any progress he's able to display Thursday or Friday may give a better sense of when he'll be available to the Cowboys offense again. Meanwhile, Luke Schoonmaker was the main beneficiary among Dallas tight ends Monday, gathering in six of 10 targets for 56 yards.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged Tuesday that Ferguson (concussion) "will be hard pressed" to play Sunday at Washington, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson entered the concussion protocol during the first half of Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans. While the Cowboys aren't yet closing the door on the tight end clearing the five-step protocol prior to Sunday, he won't be helped by the fact that Dallas faces a shorter week of prep time than usual. If Ferguson ends up being ruled out for Week 12, Luke Schoonmaker would likely step in as the starting tight end after playing 43 snaps and finishing with six catches for 56 yards on 10 targets in the loss to Houston.

Ferguson has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against Houston due to a concussion, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson was hurt in the first quarter and subsequently entered concussion protocol. The Cowboys have since ruled their No. 1 tight end out for the remainder of the contest. Ferguson finishes Week 11 with one catch (on one target) for 11 yards. Luke Schoonmaker likely will take on the majority of Dallas' tight-end snaps in Ferguson's stead.
