CowboysJake Ferguson Diagnosed With Mild Back Contusion After Full-Pad Practice Hit

The Cowboys are adjusting their depth chart after three offensive starters exited Thursday’s padded practice with injuries.

Overview

  • Jake Ferguson was hit in the back by Kenneth Murray Jr. during a red-zone drill in Oxnard and has been diagnosed with a mild back contusion.
  • The contusion is not considered serious and Ferguson is expected to avoid a long-term absence as he continues rehabilitation.
  • Rookie running back Jaydon Blue sustained a bone bruise in his heel and reserve lineman Dakoda Shepley left with a lower-body injury in the same session.
  • Earlier in camp, left tackle Tyler Guyton suffered a fractured right knee and guard Rob Jones broke a neck bone, sidelining them for weeks.
  • With the season opener approaching, coaches are reshuffling the offensive lineup and closely monitoring player recoveries from full-pad drills.
