Dallas Cowboys insider Ed Werder joined Daybreak to discuss tight end Jake Ferguson’s injury sustained during Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns. According to Werder, Ferguson, who has been a key offensive weapon for the Cowboys this season, exited the game after suffering an apparent leg injury in the second half.
Ferguson, known for his reliable hands and blocking skills, was immediately taken to the sideline for evaluation by the medical staff. The injury initially appeared concerning, as Ferguson was visibly in pain and struggled to put weight on his leg. However, Werder reported that initial assessments were somewhat optimistic, with early indications suggesting that the injury might not be season-ending.
Werder emphasized the significance of Ferguson’s role in the Cowboys’ offense, noting that any prolonged absence could disrupt the team’s passing game, especially in crucial third-down situations where Ferguson has been particularly effective. The Cowboys are expected to conduct further tests, including an MRI, to determine the full extent of the injury.
The team and fans are hopeful for a swift recovery, as Ferguson’s presence on the field is vital for maintaining the Cowboys’ offensive rhythm. Updates on his status are expected later in the week as the Cowboys prepare for their upcoming matchup.
