Cowboys Beat: TE Jake Ferguson (knee) could play in Week 2

Sep 09, 2024

Jake Ferguson could still play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.

Fantasy Impact:

Ferguson was diagnosed with a bone bruise and a minor sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee suffered Sunday in Week 1 vs. the Browns, according to Archer. It's great news for owners as things didn't look so great for Ferguson less than a day ago. Ferguson may not be 100% for Week 2 even if he does play, so owners may still want to have a backup plan in place. We likely won't know a whole lot more until later in the week.

Browns plan to sign free agent running back Royce Freeman to the practice squad.

Fantasy Impact:

Freeman did pretty well when he saw action with the Rams toward the end of last season. He was with Dallas this summer where he drew some hype, and for about a week the team had us convinced he may see significant action for the Cowboys. However, he was eventually released.

Packers are placing rookie RB MarShawn Lloyd on injured reserve due to an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Lloyd dealt with a hamstring injury leading up to the season and has now injured his ankle enough to be placed on IR, and he'll miss the next four games. The team did sign Brooks from their practice squad but Wilson looks to be the backup to Jacobs.
