Jake Ferguson’s Pro Bowl Path Clears Following Cowboys Injury Update
The Dallas Cowboys currently boast the highest-scoring offense in the NFC and rank second in the NFL during the 2025 season. Despite their odd record of 4-5-1, the team’s offensive prowess continues to shine, largely due to the performance of various key players.
Jake Ferguson’s Pro Bowl Prospects Brighten
Jake Ferguson has emerged as a vital part of the Cowboys’ offense this season. His contributions have been significant, even as the team faced the challenges of player injuries. Notably, Dallas WR CeeDee Lamb played only six full games, creating opportunities for others like Ferguson to step up.
Injury Updates Open New Opportunities
Recent developments in the NFC have boosted Ferguson’s chances for a Pro Bowl selection. Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell announced that tight end Sam LaPorta is likely out for the remainder of the season due to a back injury. This announcement follows the earlier injury of Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft, who also suffered a season-ending issue.
- LaPorta’s injury: Out for the season
- Kraft’s injury: Season-ending
While the injuries are unfortunate, they create a clearer path for Ferguson to earn a Pro Bowl nod. Previously, he was competing with LaPorta and Kraft for a roster spot, but now the competition has thinned. Another strong contender is Trey McBride, while George Kittle’s popularity might secure him a spot despite some missed games.
Impressive Stats for Ferguson
Ferguson is having an impressive season, currently on pace for:
- 102 receptions
- 680 receiving yards
- Nearly 12 touchdowns
With seven touchdown receptions, he is tied for the lead among NFC tight ends. Notably, he has surpassed Dallas Goedert in both receptions and yards, and ranks:
- 6th in catches among NFC players
- 2nd in touchdown receptions conference-wide
Ferguson has outperformed notable players like Justin Jefferson and Jaxson Smith-Njigba in key receiving categories. If he stays healthy and maintains his current performance level, he is well-positioned for a spot on this year’s NFC Pro Bowl team.
A Strong Finish Ahead
Though injuries to LaPorta and Kraft have opened avenues, Ferguson’s talent and determination could secure his place regardless. As the season approaches its climax, fans are eager to see if he can cap off this campaign with the recognition he deserves.
