The Dallas Cowboys will be facing the Arizona Cardinals this week, and one of their key players has been dealing with an injury during the week. George Pickens was a limited participant in practice as he was dealing with a shoulder issue. That made his status uncertain going into game day, but according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, he's supposed to suit up.
Cowboys WR George Pickens, listed as questionable, is expected to play vs. the Cardinals,” Schefter wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
That's good news for the Cowboys, and the hope is that he's a full go while in the game.
George Pickens' injury status vs. Cardinals
Pickens was listed on the injury report as questionable, but it sounds like he'll be playing today. For an offense that looked like it found a groove against the Philadelphia Eagles last week, it would be good for Pickens to be on the field with the team. Against the Eagles, he finished with 57 receiving yards and a touchdown.
That was just Pickens' second touchdown of the season, and though he's not getting the ball into the end zone, he's picking up the yards to help the team score points. He could score at any time as well, especially with CeeDee Lamb on the other side of him attracting attention.
As for Lamb, this game against the Cardinals means a little more to him since he's never beaten them in his career. He was asked during the week if there was any heightened awareness going into the matchup.
“I’ve never beat the Cardinals since I've been in the league, so that's kind of fair to say. I wouldn't say heightened focus, but it's definitely another take,” Lamb said.
The Cardinals have played some solid football this season, so it won't be an easy game for the Cowboys.
