Tue Nov 19 02:00:00 UTC 2024: ## Cowboys Fullback Luepke Out for Week 11 Game Against Texans
**ARLINGTON, TX** – Dallas Cowboys fullback Hunter Luepke will miss Monday’s Week 11 game against the Houston Texans due to a calf injury, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Luepke, who was listed as doubtful after missing all week of practice, will be sidelined for the contest.
While Luepke’s offensive touches have been limited this season (never exceeding four in a single game), he plays a crucial role in the Cowboys’ running game as a blocker. His absence will likely necessitate increased blocking responsibilities for backup tight ends Luke Schoonmaker and/or Brevyn Spann-Ford. The Cowboys will look to these players to fill the void left by Luepke in their ground game.
