2026 Week 8 Fantasy Football: Luke Schoonmaker Injury Report Reaction
Schoonmaker sat out Thursday's practice with a groin injury — here's what it means for Cowboys TE depth.
According to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), the Cowboys added tight end Luke Schoonmaker to their injury report Thursday with a groin issue. He was a non-participant — and notably, he was not on Wednesday's report, making this a same-week development worth watching heading into Week 8.

A groin injury turning up mid-week, with Schoonmaker going from no listing to a DNP in a single day, is a real flag. The source story gives no recovery timeline, so his status for the weekend is genuinely unclear at this point. Monitor Friday's report closely — if he's out or limited again, treat him as questionable at best.
If Schoonmaker can't go, Jake Ferguson would be next in line for tight end snaps. Ferguson is averaging 3.6 targets and 68.7% snap share (percentage of offensive plays on the field) across seven games this season — he'd be a viable streamer if Schoonmaker is ruled out. Brevyn Spann-Ford is deeper on the depth chart at a 36.3% snap share but could also see added work in two-TE sets. Neither is a must-start, but Ferguson becomes worth a serious look in a pinch.
