Fehoko caught one of his two targets for nine yards and a touchdown in the 30-13 win over the Bears on Sunday.
It's unclear why Fehoko suddenly saw 16 offensive snaps after being limited to just special teams duties in the prior two games with the Chargers, but the third-year player was able to make the most of it by scoring his first career touchdown. Fehoko really never got many opportunities with the Cowboys in past seasons, but at the very least it's clear offensive coordinator Kellen Moore does value the big-bodied target somewhat.

Simi Fehoko: Heading to Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Fehoko signed with the Steelers' practice squad Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Fehoko was waived by the Cowboys on Tuesday, and he will now head to Pittsburgh ahead of the 2023 campaign. The wide receiver appeared in five games with Dallas in 2022, reeling in three catches for 24 yards over 34 offensive snaps.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Dealing with quad injury
Rotowire
Fehoko suffered a quad contusion during Monday's practice and didn't participate Tuesday, but he should return later in the week, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Fehoko's injury appears minor, so there shouldn't be any concern about his availability for preseason action. The 2021 fifth-round pick has impressed during offseason work and is vying for the fourth wide receiver spot on Dallas' depth chart with Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Allowed to resume practicing
Rotowire
The Cowboys designated Fehoko (shoulder) to return from injured reserve Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Fehoko was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury back on Oct. 15, but Thursday now accounts as the second-year wide receiver's first opportunity to resume practicing and possibly join Dallas' active roster prior to Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the 49ers. If Fehoko is eventually promoted prior to this weekend's contest, he likely won't top 10 offensive snaps.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Headed to IR
Rotowire
Dallas placed Fehoko (shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Fehoko was forced out of the Cowboys' win at the Rams in Week 5 early with a shoulder injury, and he'll now be forced to miss at least the next four games as he recovers. KaVontae Turpin should see an increase in reps until Fehoko returns.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Logs full participation
Rotowire
Fehoko (shoulder) was listed as a full participant during Dallas' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Fehoko recorded one reception (one target) for 12 yards over two offensive snaps before exiting Monday's win over the Giants with a shoulder injury. While the Cowboys did not hold a full practice Wednesday, the second-year wideout seems to have quickly overcome this issue. Fehoko has played 23 offensive snaps through the first three games of the season, though his usage could diminish even further if Michael Gallup, who is nearing a return from his torn ACL, is available to play in Week 4.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Fehoko (shoulder) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Giants, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports
Fehoko recorded one reception (one target) for 12 yards before sustaining a shoulder injury at some point during Monday's contest, though the exact nature and severity of this issue are still unclear. In the second-year wideout's absence, Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin should see increased targets in Week 3.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Snags TD against Seattle
Rotowire
Fehoko caught two of five targets for eight yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason game against the Seahawks.
The 2021 fifth-round pick wasn't exactly consistent in this contest, but the same could be said for the entire Dallas passing game, as a patchwork offensive line couldn't give the team's quarterbacks many clean pockets. Fehoko was on the other end of a one-yard TD toss from Will Grier in the second quarter on a designed rollout though, and overall he has looked much more comfortable heading into his second NFL campaign. Fehoko will be competing with Jalen Tolbert, Noah Brown (toe), Dennis Houston and KaVontae Turpin for snaps and targets behind CeeDee Lamb (foot) in Week 1, as that group of unproven wideouts tries to secure spots on the depth chart before Michael Gallup (knee) and James Washington (foot) return to action.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Impressing in practice
Rotowire
Fehoko has been one of the Cowboys' standout players in practice over the last few days, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
The 2021 fifth-round pick didn't see a target as a rookie and was used only sparingly on special teams, but Fehoko seems a lot more comfortable heading into his second NFL season, and his athleticism has been showing up in camp. There are plenty of snaps and targets up for grabs at wide receiver in Dallas behind CeeDee Lamb and rookie Jalen Tolbert to begin the season, with Fehoko, Noah Brown, Dennis Houston, T.J. Vasher and KaVontae Turpin all jockeying for position on the depth chart. At the moment, Fehoko appears to be the one with the most momentum heading into Saturday's preseason opener against the Broncos.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Returns from COVID list
Rotowire
Fehoko was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
While Fehoko now has the opportunity to play Week 17, that doesn't mean he will, as he's been a healthy scratch each of the last three games. If he does suit up, whatever playing time he gets will likely come on special teams.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Lands on reserve/COVID-19 list
Rotowire
Fehoko was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, per Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News.
Fehoko was a healthy scratch in each of the previous two weeks, so his probable absence this Sunday isn't likely to disrupt Dallas' game plan. The rookie receiver will need to clear league protocols before he is able to rejoin the team.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Inactive for Week 15
Rotowire
Fehoko (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Fehoko will be in street clothes for the second straight week with Dallas mostly at full strength at receiver with the exception of depth option Noah Brown (groin), who was moved to injured reserve earlier this month. The rookie fifth-round pick out of Stanford is the clear No. 6 man on the depth chart at the moment with all of CeeDee Lamb, Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, Cedrick Wilson and Malik Turner firmly ahead of him.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: No injury designation for Week 3
Rotowire
Fehoko (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Eagles, Armando Salguero of Outkick reports.
The same is true of fellow wide receiver Amari Cooper (ribs), so Fehoko's unlikely to play a role in Dallas' passing attack. The rookie fifth-round pick is yet to play a snap on offense in his career, having been limited exclusively to special teams duties through two weeks.

Cowboys' Simi Fehoko: Preseason ends with whimper
Rotowire
Fehoko caught three of four targets for 21 yards in Sunday's preseason loss to the Jaguars.
With the Cowboys' resting all of their key offensive personnel, Fehoko had a chance to steal the spotlight but wasn't able to do much as the Dallas offense sputtered most of the game. The rookie fifth-round pick out of Stanford seems to be on the outside looking in for a spot in the top five on the wide receiver depth chart, and Fehoko could be headed for the practice squad to begin the season as a result.
