Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Washington Commanders due to a concussion. He has not practiced since entering concussion protocol during the first quarter of the previous game against the Houston Texans. This absence opens up opportunities for teammates Luke Schoonmaker and Brevynn Spann-Ford, who performed well in Ferguson's absence. Ferguson's next potential game is on Thanksgiving against the New York Giants.

• Ferguson is unlikely to clear concussion protocol for Week 12.
• Schoonmaker and Spann-Ford will see increased roles in Ferguson's absence.
