Initial word on Sunday was that Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson avoided a major knee injury during the team’s win in Cleveland and further testing has backed that up according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.

An MRI on Monday showed that Ferguson suffered an MCL sprain.  

The nature of the injury means Ferguson likely will miss time, but he should be able to return in a matter of weeks rather than missing months or more.

Ferguson had three catches for 15 yards before getting hurt on Sunday.

Luke Schoonmaker will likely see a jump in playing time as long as Ferguson is out of action.
