Dallas will likely have to alter their plan at tight with Jake Ferguson doubtful.
The Cowboys’ depth at tight end will be tested Sunday against the Saints.
Only two Dallas players have designations for Week 2, and both play tight end. John Stephens (hamstring) already is ruled out, and starter Jake Ferguson (knee) is doubtful.
Luke Schoonmaker, a second-round pick in 2023, is expected to make his first career start. He played 368 snaps last season as a rookie and made eight receptions for 65 yards and two touchdowns.
Brevyn Spann-Ford also is on the active roster at the position, and Princeton Fant could get a call up from the practice squad.
