Nov 08 (Field Level Media) – Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson was helped ​off the field in the ‌third quarter with a left knee injury only a few plays after the Indianapolis Colts lost cornerback Charvarius Ward with a ‌hamstring ​injury.

Ferguson caught a ⁠pass in the flat ⁠to quarterback Dak Prescott’s left and was upended by a pair of Colts defenders. Linebacker Bryce Boettcher ​hit Ferguson as he flipped head over cleats at the Colts’ ⁠11 after an 11-yard ⁠gain. Ferguson motioned to ​the sideline and eventually made his way ​to the blue medical tent.

The drive ‌ended when Brandon Aubrey drilled a 28-yard field goal to extend the Dallas lead to 20-10.

On the ⁠same drive in the third quarter and before the Ferguson injury, Ward exited the game ⁠grasping ‌at his left hamstring.

Both ⁠players were listed as questionable ​to ‌return.

Ward was in man coverage ​against CeeDee ⁠Lamb, who had six catches for 107 yards and a touchdown when Ward left the game.

Ferguson caught a touchdown pass in the second quarter.
