UDFA tight end Michael Trigg was unavailable for the Saints scrimmage and missed the opportunity to contribute during a day when the Cowboys' pass offense excelled. The source frames Trigg as a roster longshot in a crowded tight end depth chart where Jake Ferguson is entrenched as TE1 and increasingly involved in red zone opportunities. With Luke Schoonmaker also getting reps and three receivers demanding high target volume, the remaining tight end spots are severely limited. Trigg's absence during a high-volume passing day compounds his challenge to carve out a role as the cream rises to the top across the roster with two preseason games remaining.

UDFA tight end Michael Trigg was unavailable for Tuesday's scrimmage against the Saints, missing an opportunity to contribute during a day when the Cowboys' pass offense performed exceptionally well. This absence comes as the tight end depth chart is clarifying: Jake Ferguson is taking up the vast majority of available snaps and red zone opportunities, with even Luke Schoonmaker getting involved. Trigg, as an undrafted player, now faces a significant gap to close as established players show their regular season form and the cream rises to the top across the roster.

Undrafted rookie tight end Michael Trigg missed the Cowboys' critical joint practice scrimmage against the Saints on Tuesday with a toe injury. The source notes this is particularly damaging for a player fighting for a roster spot, as the scrimmage represented a key opportunity to showcase his abilities after a solid preseason debut.

The source notes that availability is paramount for players fighting for a roster spot, and missing this scrimmage—the second joint practice of the summer—is a significant setback for Trigg's chances to compete for a roster spot, though he looked solid in the preseason debut. The source suggests he could be an IR stash candidate as roster moves approach.

UDFA TE led Dallas with 4 catches and 30 receiving yards in preseason opener, with 3 receptions helping sustain drives that led to both Cowboys touchdowns. The source notes Trigg displayed the mismatch problem he presents with his athleticism against linebackers and size against defensive backs, and his candidacy for the bottom of the TE depth chart has been discussed all summer; this first preseason game did nothing to hurt that case.

Lots of positives tonight with the Cowboys. The line play got better in the second half. Still not sure who the No. 2 QB is. I’m liking Trigg warts and all. Special teams penalties concern me but it’s the preseason. Liufau has had a good camp and took that into Seattle.

Trigg, an undrafted free agent tight end, caught another touchdown in the Rams scrimmage and is slowly building consistent buzz ahead of Saturday's preseason opener; the source notes he is nearing the point where there is enough buzz to circle his name and see if he can take another step to make the tight end depth competition interesting, with potential to be the third tight end behind Jake Ferguson and Brevyn Spann-Ford by Week 15.

Undrafted free agent tight end caught another touchdown in Tuesday's scrimmage work against the Rams; slowly but steadily nearing the point where there is consistent enough buzz about him to put a big circle around his name ahead of Saturday's exhibition and see if he can take yet another step to make the tight end depth competition super interesting; could be the third capable tight end behind Jake Ferguson and Brevyn Spann-Ford by Week 15.

The UDFA TE has been positioned as a potential fourth tight end option for Dallas, with some analysts even suggesting he could challenge Luke Schoonmaker. Trigg has demonstrated his advertised athleticism and pass-catching skills in camp with tough catches in traffic and sliding grabs. However, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer noted that while Trigg can do special things as a receiving TE, the competition with fellow UDFA D.J. Rodgers remains even, with Rodgers' superior run-blocking potentially being more valuable at the bottom of the depth chart. Trigg was a well-known draft commodity who fell to undrafted status due to character concerns; strong preseason performance could secure him a 53-man roster spot or practice squad position as the Cowboys may be cautious about risking him to waivers.
