Jake Ferguson injury update: Latest on Cowboys TE for Fantasy Football Week 13

Jake Ferguson is the primary tight end on America's team, the Dallas Cowboys. The Wisconsin product is a high-yardage threat thanks to his catching ability and penchant for breaking tackles.

Let's examine Ferguson's availability ahead of the Cowboys' Week 13 game against the New York Giants.

Jake Ferguson's injury update

According to Rotowire, Jake Ferguson is still in the concussion protocol heading into Week 14. The veteran tight end suffered a head injury in Week 11 during the Cowboys' loss to the Houston Texans.

Following his injury, Ferguson missed his side's win against the Washington Commanders. It was the team's first win after a startling five-game losing streak. In his absence, Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford split the snaps at tight end.

Due to the quick turnaround of fixtures, Ferguson is in real danger of missing the upcoming game. He's been listed as a non-participant in Monday's practice session, and another listing would confirm his inability to play against the Giants on Thanksgiving Day.

How has Jake Ferguson performed in 2024?

Jake Ferguson has performed admirably in his second full season as the undisputed starting tight end for the Dallas Cowboys. He has amassed a stat line of 43 catches and 369 receiving yards.

Ferguson has led the Cowboys in receiving yards in three games this season: the first against the Baltimore Ravens, the second against the Atlanta Falcons, and the third against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, it's a little surprising that Ferguson hasn't recorded a touchdown yet.

It's been a tough year for the Cowboys, as they're entering Week 13 with a 4-7 record. Their only wins this season came against the Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, and most recently, the Commanders.

On the other end of the spectrum, they've suffered losses against the New Orleans Saints, Ravens, Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles and Houston Texans. They'll be aiming for a statement win against the Giants in Week 13, as that could fuel their faltering hopes of securing a postseason berth.
