Jake Ferguson to miss home opener as Dallas Cowboys take on New Orleans Saints

The Cowboys are getting nearer and nearer to kickoff of their first home recreation of the brand new season as they put together to host the New Orleans Saints. Now, with a little bit over an hour till kickoff, we've got a greater thought of who will probably be suiting up for this one with the inactive record launched.

The headline right here is Jake Ferguson being inactive. Ferguson suffered a bone bruise and MCL sprain in final week’s win over the Browns, however he was anticipated to be a game-time determination. Ferguson stated earlier within the week that he felt no ache, however Cowboys coaches needed to be cautious. Now, the tight finish is formally out.

So, too, is fellow tight finish John Stephens Jr., who missed final week with an damage as nicely. That led to Princeton Fant being known as up from the apply squad this week for added depth at tight finish, although the expectation is Hunter Luepke will see extra work on the place too.

The different Cowboys on the inactive record this week are Andrew Booth Jr., Buddy Johnson, Ryan Flournoy, Matt Waletzko, and Trey Lance. As was the case final week, Lance is the Cowboys’ designated emergency quarterback.

As for the Saints, they are going to be with out 4 time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore as we speak due to a hamstring damage suffered in final week’s win over the Panthers. Other information of word for New Orleans is rookie sort out Taliese Fuaga, who missed apply this week with again tightness. Fuaga just isn't on the inactive record, and he’s anticipated to play after being beforehand listed as questionable. Still, a rookie sort out enjoying via an damage towards a protection that led the league in pressures in Week 1 will probably be price monitoring.
