Cowboys' Hunter Luepke: One carry in Week 1
Luepke turned his only carry into a seven-yard gain during Sunday night's 28-20 loss to New York.
Luepke operated in his typical role as the team's starting fullback, seeing action for 15 of the team's 58 total offensive snaps. The 26-year-old also was on the field for nine snaps on special teams in contest. Luepke is a far more valuable real-life football player than he is a fantasy asset.

Cowboys' Hunter Luepke: Small but steady role in 2025
Luepke carried the ball 16 times for 71 yards and caught 13 of 15 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown over 17 games in 2025.
The fullback has missed only one game in three seasons with the Cowboys, and Luepke set a new career high with his 180 scrimmage yards while scoring his second career TD. He split his time nearly equally between the offense and special teams in 2025, playing 250 offensive snaps and 241 on kick-return squads, and he should fill a similar role next season in the first year of a two-year, $7 million contract extension.

Cowboys' Hunter Luepke: Clears concussion protocol
Luepke (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Luepke increased his practice participation over the course of Week 16 prep, and he has progressed enough to clear the league's concussion protocol and be available for Sunday's home tilt. The third-year fullback turned five touches into 30 yards during the Cowboys' Week 15 loss to the Vikings before leaving the game after sustaining a concussion.

Cowboys' Hunter Luepke: Questionable for Week 16
Luepke (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Luepke was able to practice in full Friday, but his questionable tag for Week 16 indicates that he is still in the league's concussion protocol, so he would need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play Sunday. If he's not given the green light to play, then the Cowboys may turn to tight ends Brevyn Spann-Ford or Luke Schoonmaker to play some snaps at fullback for Week 16, given that there are no other fullbacks on Dallas' active roster.

Cowboys' Hunter Luepke: Upgrades to limited Thursday
Luepke (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Luepeke took the third step toward clearing the NFL's five-step concussion protocol Thursday by upgrading to a limited participant after missing Wednesday's session. The fullback will have to practice Friday and be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Cowboys' Hunter Luepke: DNP to open week
Luepke (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.
Luepke entered the league's concussion protocol during the Cowboys' Week 15 loss to the Vikings. Even if he were to return to practice over the next two days, Luepke would have to be cleared from the league's protocol by an independent neurologist in order to play Sunday against the Chargers. The Cowboys don't have another fullback on the active roster or practice squad, so they may deploy a tight end like Luke Schoonmaker or Brevyn Spann-Ford as a backfield blocker if Luepke is not cleared to play.

Cowboys' Hunter Luepke: Done for night
Luepke (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's contest against the Vikings, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Luepke suffered a concussion during Sunday Night Football, bringing his night to a premature end. The Cowboys will have to operate without a fullback for the remainder of the game. He saw a season-high five touches prior to being ruled out, turning the volume into 30 scrimmage yards.

Cowboys' Hunter Luepke: Full participant Thursday
Luepke (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Luepke's ability to string consecutive practices together is a great sign for his availability for Sunday's game against the Vikings. The fullback will have one more chance to avoid an injury designation for Sunday, and even without a full practice Friday, he seems to be in a good spot to be able to suit up against Minnesota.

Cowboys' Hunter Luepke: Dealing with hip injury
Luepke (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Luepke likely picked up the injury during the Cowboys' Week 14 loss to the Lions, when he played 40 snaps (21 on offense, 19 on special teams) and finished with two tackles. His ability to practice in a limited capacity indicates the hip injury isn't a long-term concern, and he'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

Cowboys' Hunter Luepke: Catches three passes in win
Luepke carried once for five yards and added three receptions for 36 yards in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.
Heading into Monday, Luepke had just six total touches through the Cowboys' first nine games, but the fullback saw his most involvement of the season as Dallas cruised to an easy win. Luepke played just 16 of Dallas' 67 snaps on offense, however, and he's still likely to offer most of his contributions as a blocker when he's on the field.

Cowboys' Hunter Luepke: Records short reception in win
Luepke corralled his lone target for a three-yard reception in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.
After hauling in a three-yard catch for the second touchdown of his career in a Week 6 loss to the Panthers, Luepke was unable to find paydirt Sunday but was one of eight Dallas pass catchers to finish with a reception. The fullback played just 11 of 67 snaps on offense and will continue to handle a limited role in the weeks to come.

Cowboys' Hunter Luepke: Inks extension
Luepke signed a two-year extension with the Cowboys on Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
The 25-year-old fullback will now remain in Dallas after spending the first two seasons of his career with the team. Over 33 regular-season appearances, Luepke has tallied 18 rushes for 57 yards and one touchdown to go along with 15 receptions for 129 yards. He's expected to serve as the Cowboys' top fullback throughout the 2025 campaign.
