Editor’s note: Hendershot returned later in the second quarter.
Cowboys rookie TE Peyton Hendershot (thigh) is questionable to return.

The Cowboys and Buccaneers are out of the gates as both offenses find rhythm, and Dallas may be without one of their secret weapons. Tight end Peyton Hendershot suffered a thigh injury during the first quarter in Tampa Bay and is questionable to return to the game.
As an undrafted free agent, Hendershot exceeded expectations and has three touchdowns on the year while adding some edge to the offense in a deep tight end room. If he’s unable to return Dallas will continue to rely on Dalton Schultz and Jake Ferguson, with the former already scoring a touchdown in this wild card matchup.
