The NFL season has started and we cannot stop stressing enough about the Dallas Cowboys’ win against the Cleveland Browns in Week 1. However, the results turned out to be a bittersweet victory when Jake Ferguson reportedly suffered a bone bruise and sprained MCL. But, now there is positive news for all the ‘Boys’!

Dear Cowboys fans, assemble and take a tremendous sigh of relief! After the team’s victory, HC Mike McCarthy revealed on Monday, “Jake Ferguson was in good spirits and moving around well in the locker room.” As per the reports, the TE only experienced an MCL sprain. And now the team’s General Manager focused on the player’s health condition!

While Ferguson walked away from the field on Sunday, the injury may not keep him away from the gridiron for Week Two. Even the team’s owner Jerry Jones has also confirmed it. According to ProFootball Talk’s Tuesday tweet, fans can see the Pro Bowl player performing in the Cowboys’ next game. The X post read, “Jerry Jones is optimistic that the Tight end could perform on their Sunday game against the Saints.”

Jerry Jones’ positive message sent waves of euphoria throughout the Cowboys fandom. The rising star went through a left knee injury during the third quarter, exiting the gridiron in a worrying condition. The team’s GM said the five magical words, “He’s very excited about playing. I saw him right after our meetings yesterday and he was excited about it.” 

Jones also mentioned it’s a huge relief for the team that the injury isn’t severe. With Jake Ferguson dodging a bullet, it is good to see the Week 1 game didn’t become a nightmare for America’s team. Interestingly, Jake managed to snag three catches for 15 yards before getting his knee hurt. He plays an important role for the Boys as the starting tight end.

Jake Ferguson is the cornerstone of the Dallas Cowboys

If you want to know the importance of the tight end to the team, here’s why there is a lot of fuss about him. Jake Ferguson proved his skills last season by recording 71 receptions for 761 yards and five touchdowns. And that’s not enough! Earning a Pro Bowl selection, the tight end became an important component of the Cowboys’ passing game.

The list goes on! Jake ranked third among tight ends in terms of routes run, bringing his playmaking abilities to the fore. He also racked up 19 catches during his rookie season, recording the fourth-most catches by any rookie TE in the Cowboys. The player even received appreciation from his teammate CeeDee Lamb for blocking the end and linebackers. He said, “He’s a warrior, man.”

Well, Jake Ferguson is surely a warrior who is on a mission to make the Cowboys’ offense stronger! With the team’s next match on Sunday, let’s see what the future holds for the Boys!
