Will Jake Ferguson be participating in tonight's game?

UPDATE: Through three offensive series, Ferguson has not yet gotten a target. The Cowboys' third drive was a bit better than the first two, so that's a positive sign for Ferguson's chances of getting going soon.

Yes, Ferguson is active, but he hasn't been targeted yet.

The Cowboys' initial possession concluded with a three-and-out, and their subsequent drive was halted by a fumble, thus limiting his opportunities to gain momentum.

Hopefully drive No. 3 will get him going.
