George Pickens injury update delivers encouraging news for Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys pulled off a massive victory on Sunday as they secured a 24-21 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. They fought their way back from a 21-point deficit, tying the franchise record for the biggest come-from-behind win.

During the game, George Pickens had another monumental performance. He racked up nine receptions for 146 yards with a touchdown, giving him 67 catches for 1,054 yards and eight touchdowns on the season.

During that huge performance, Pickens had to head to the sideline for a few snaps, clearly in pain. He returned, even catching a pass that set up the game-winning field goal, but the injury is still bothering him.

Pickens was not on the practice field on Wednesday, dealing with a knee/calf injury. The good news for Dallas, however, is that head coach Brian Schottenheimer says Pickens is expected to play in Week 13 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Brian Schottenheimer says "we're beat up a little bit" when asked about Quinnen Williams and George Pickens' injuries. Added Tyler Guyton is probably the biggest question that they have, and everyone else is pretty sore after a physical game. Says he'll get the #Cowboys moving… pic.twitter.com/zFwXXz24o7

As Schottenheimer stated, the Cowboys were a little "banged up" following their victory. In addition to Pickens, defensive tackle Quinnen Williams took a hard hit and was down on the ground in pain. He didn't miss any time and thankfully wasn't on the injury report Monday.

Fellow defensive end Osa Odighizuwa was on the injury report, however, as he's dealing with an elbow injury and didn't participate.

The most concerning injury has to be the high ankle sprain suffered by Tyler Guyton. The starting left tackle is expected to miss multiple games with the injury.

Dallas has a short turnaround with the Chiefs visiting AT&T Stadium on Thanksgiving Day. That gives them a short week, limiting their time to recover from this weekend.
