Is Jake Ferguson playing tonight? Cowboys TE's status revealed for TNF clash vs Giants

Jake Ferguson is the starting tight end for the Dallas Cowboys, and he is one of Dak Prescott's favorite targets. Ferguson was impressive in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens, racking up six catches and 95 receiving yards.

Is Jake Ferguson playing tonight?

Jake Ferguson will play in tonight's game against the New York Giants. Ferguson missed his side's Week 2 matchup due to a lingering MCL sprain but is looking healthy and ready to play. He'll line up at tight end as Dallas looks to get back to winning ways after their loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

However, the Cowboys will likely be without safety Markquese Bell and cornerback Caelen Carson. Both players did not participate in training this week and are dealing with ankle and shoulder injuries, respectively.

Trevon Diggs, C.J. Goodwin, CeeDee Lamb, Demarcus Lawrence, Mazi Smith, and John Stephens Jr. are currently on the injury report, but they don't have designations entering tonight's game.

The Cowboys have had the upper hand in recent games against the New York Giants. They've been the winning side in 13 of the last 14 matchups against their Thursday Night Football opponents.

However, the Giants are the ones coming into the game fresh off a win, as they defeated the Cleveland Browns in Week 3. They were led by rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, who hauled in two receiving touchdowns to put the Browns to the sword. He'll be looking forward to playing against a Cowboys side that is looking rather vulnerable on the defensive side of the ball.

Dallas is coming off a loss to the Ravens where Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry exposed their flaws in the air and on the ground. They'll need to play significantly better to avoid dropping to 1-3. It will be interesting to see what Dak Prescott and Co. have in store for Thursday Night Football and if they can get Jake Ferguson into the end zone for the first time this season.
