Key Cowboys Players Injured in Week 8 Loss
2 Nov
Summary
- Tight end Jake Ferguson sustained a low-ankle sprain in Sunday's game.
- Safety Caleb Downs exited early due to a concussion.
- Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. has been managing a persistent ankle issue.
The Dallas Cowboys are dealing with multiple key player injuries following their recent Week 8 defeat. Tight end Jake Ferguson sustained a low-ankle sprain, a concern for a position group already shorthanded. James Mitchell is expected to see increased snaps, with rookie Michael Trigg a potential call-up if both Ferguson and Luke Schoonmaker are unavailable.
Defensively, safety Caleb Downs was forced out with a concussion and will now undergo the concussion protocol, potentially missing Week 9. Downs has been a vital player for the Cowboys' defense this season. Additionally, cornerback Joey Porter Jr. continues to manage a persistent ankle issue that has troubled him since the start of the season, impacting his ability to move freely despite his continued effectiveness in coverage.
