Cowboys Navigate Camp Injury Challenges as Ferguson Returns to Practice

Ferguson’s quick return after a mild back contusion tests the Cowboys’ capacity to fill gaps in their lineup.

Jake Ferguson #87 of the Dallas Cowboys warms up prior to an NFL football game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at AT&T Stadium on December 22, 2024 in Arlington, Texas.

Overview

  • Ferguson, fresh off a four-year, $52 million extension, suffered a back contusion in Thursday’s padded session but returned to practice Saturday without pads.
  • Star pass rusher Micah Parsons has missed drills while receiving treatment for recurring back tightness that first surfaced in minicamp.
  • Rookie running back Jaydon Blue has been sidelined by a heel bone bruise sustained in the same Thursday practice.
  • Offensive lineman Dakoda Shepley left with a lower-body issue during the session and remains under evaluation by team trainers.
  • Earlier camp losses of linemen Tyler Guyton and Rob Jones have compelled the Cowboys to test their depth ahead of the preseason.
