Cowboys TE Depth Tested by Injuries
23 Aug
Summary
- Several tight ends sidelined due to injuries.
- Injuries impact the Cowboys' roster depth.
- Other players cleared to play despite previous issues.
The Cowboys entered Saturday night's game with a depleted tight end unit. Starters Jake Ferguson and Brevyn Spann-Ford did not play, and crucial injuries sidelined DJ Rogers (knee) and Michael Trigg (toe).
Trigg sustained his injury during the preseason opener against Seattle, while Rogers suffered his setback in practice just days before the game. These absences led to Luke Schoonmaker and Zack Kuntz being the only available tight ends.
The team may need to explore acquiring another tight end, especially as training camp continues. In separate injury news, edge rusher James Houston and defensive tackle Jay Toia were cleared to play after leaving a recent practice with shoulder and elbow issues, respectively. However, defensive tackle Kevin Gilliam and Rogers were not cleared.
