Is Jake Ferguson playing tonight? Why Cowboys TE is off to slow start in Week 11 image

The Dallas Cowboys have gotten a significant contribution from tight end Jake Ferguson through the first half of the season.

Ferguson enters Week 11 with 384 receiving yards, which ranks third on the team and has him close to the pace for a career-best season.

However, Ferguson is off to a slow start in the Week 11 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is Jake Ferguson playing tonight?

UPDATE: Ferguson is on the board with his first catch of the night in the second quarter and it went for a touchdown.

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' first drive ended on a three-and-out and their second drive was cut short due to a fumble, so there hasn't been much of a chance for him to get going.

Hopefully drive No. 3 will get him going.
