The Dallas Cowboys handled the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, 31-17. But unfortunately, they suffered an injury to one of their major offensive weapons, tight end Jake Ferguson . Shortly after the loss on Sunday evening, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network updated his status. He is not believed to have suffered an ACL tear, based on initial tests. X-Rays were negative and an MRI will be coming on Monday.

Quarterback Dak Prescott added to reporters, “I think we dodged a big one,” after the game. He’ll get an MRI tomorrow, but his left knee was wrapped in ice as he left the locker room to the team bus. Ferguson also had no crutches and a brace.

The third-year pro out of Wisconsin left the game with a left knee injury with 6:23 remaining in the third quarter. He did not return on the afternoon and finished the game with three catches for 15 yards.

Last season, Ferguson emerged as one of the best tight ends in the National Football League, hauling in 71 catches for 761 yards and five touchdowns. The season was good enough to get him named to the Pro Bowl.

During his college days with Wisconsin, Ferguson was one of the more dominant tight ends in the country. In 2021, he hauled in 46 catches for 450 yards and three touchdowns. That season was good enough to land him first team All-Big Ten honors.
