But at least the\u00a0Cowboys wrapped up their tight end. However, the Cowboys got bad news when they learned a\u00a0Dak Prescott target will multiple weeks with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0situation with tight end\u00a0Brevyn Spann-Ford was revealed through a post on X by Todd Archer.<\/p>\n<p><em>Brian Schottenheimer said Brevyn Spann-Ford will need a \u201ccouple weeks,\u201d with the high ankle sprain suffered Sunday.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is the second recent injury blow for the team as offensive lineman Robert Jones will miss up to three months with a neck injury.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cowboys QB Dak Prescott has one less weapon for a while<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This is the second preseason for Spann-Ford, who signed with the Cowboys as a UDFA in 2024. He appeared in all 17 games last season for the Cowboys, but he caught only nine passes for 88 yards.<\/p>\n<p>Spann-Ford stands as the third-string tight end behind starter Jake Ferguson and backup Luke Schoomaker.<\/p>\n<p>Before the injury, Spann-Ford talked about his work on becoming a better receiver, according to dallascowboys.com.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cDefinitely just understanding how to use my body,\u201d Spann-Ford said. \u201cI\u2019m a lot bigger receiver. There are a lot of different things (smaller receivers) that I\u2019m not necessarily able to do. But there are other things I\u2019m able to do that they\u2019re not able to do. Just making sure I\u2019m tightening up skills, so I\u2019m able to be a pass threat.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>However, there is concern that this setback will cost Spann-Ford in his quest to unseat Schoonmaker as the primary backup to Ferguson, who recently signed a new deal.<\/p>\n<p>Still, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Spann-Ford has\u00a0already shown some things, according to star-telegram.com.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHe had an incredible offseason,\u201d Schottenheimer said. \u201cHe really did. The size alone, he moves really well. I think he added six or seven pounds of lean muscle mass. This guy is just not a run blocker and a pass protector. This guy can be a weapon because of his size in the middle of the field matched up on linebackers and safeties.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe thing I loved about Brev from day one is you knew that this wasn\u2019t too big for him,\u201d Schottenheimer said. \u201cYou knew mentally that he knew, \u2018I belong here. It doesn\u2019t matter how I got here, I belong here.\u2019 And he\u2019s pushing (Ferguson) and (Schoonmaker) and all those guys. He\u2019s already made the jump.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dallas Cowboys suffered a minor blow as a Dak Prescott target will miss multiple weeks with an ankle injury.
