FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson could still play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints after being diagnosed with a bone bruise and a minor sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee, a source told ESPN on Monday.

Ferguson had an MRI on Monday morning after leaving the Cowboys' 33-17 victory against the Cleveland Browns following a 2-yard catch in the third quarter. He landed awkwardly while attempting to leap linebacker Jordan Hicks and immediately grabbed his knee.

He went to the locker room and did not return. After the game multiple sources said Ferguson's anterior cruciate ligament remained intact but the MRI was needed for the full diagnosis.

"God is good," Ferguson posted to X on Monday morning.

Ferguson finished with three catches for 15 yards. Last year, he established himself with 71 catches for 761 yards and five touchdowns and was added to the Pro Bowl as a replacement.

"I think we dodged a big one," quarterback Dak Prescott said Sunday after the game. "Obviously he has to get some X-rays [Monday], but talking to him, he gave me a lot of confidence that he will be OK. He will be able to respond whether it is nothing or a couple of weeks.

"I cannot even think what we would miss without him. His mentality, what he brings to the game, where we've grown in our connection, we will be fine. He will be fine. He gave me the news, so I am just gonna try and think on that and get him back out there as quick as we can."

If Ferguson cannot play Sunday or is out even longer, the Cowboys have Luke Schoonmaker, a second-round pick in 2023, Brevyn Spann-Ford and John Stephens Jr., who was inactive Sunday because of a hamstring strain, as the other tight ends on the 53-man roster. Fullback Hunter Luepke was used as an on-the-line blocker against the Browns.

They have combined for 13 catches for 101 yards in their careers.
