• Rehabbing from shoulder surgery
    Schoonmaker (shoulder) is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery and is expected to be ready for training camp, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Schoonmaker is coming off a quiet rookie campaign in which he secured just eight of 15 targets for 65 yards and two touchdowns over 17 regular-season appearances. While the tight end didn't miss any time, it appears the 2023 second-round pick was hampered by a shoulder issue. Another offseason to get acquainted with Dallas' offense and build chemistry with Dak Prescott could allow Schoonmaker to improve his production during the 2024 season, but he figures to remain behind jake Ferguson on the depth chart.

  • Luke Schoonmaker undergoes shoulder surgery
    Cowboys TE Luke Schoonmaker underwent shoulder surgery.

    Advice: Schoonmaker, who had eight catches for 65 yards and two touchdowns in his rookie campaign, had the procedure recently, according to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. His rookie season ended in early December when he sprained his shoulder. Barring setbacks, Schoonmaker should be OK for training camp, slotting in as the team’s TE2 behind Jake Ferguson.

  • Recovering from core muscle surgery
    GM John Lynch said Monday that Kittle is recovering from an offseason procedure intended to address a core muscle injury, and that the tight end is on track to be fully cleared by training camp, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: Kittle also recently restructured his contract, a move that freed up roughly $10 million in cap space for the 49ers, likely by converting a portion of his base salary for 2024 into a bonus. Across 16 regular-season games last year, the two-time All-Pro secured 65 of 90 targets for 1,020 yards and six scores. Recovery from core muscle surgery shouldn't impede Kittle's ability to participate in on-field reps this offseason, though even if he did sit out a portion of training camp, it wouldn't impact the veteran tight end's status as one of the top fantasy options amid a sparse positional landscape.
