Cowboys' Pickens & Downs Injured Before Cardinals Game
29 Oct
Summary
- George Pickens has shoulder and hamstring injuries.
- Caleb Downs is dealing with an ankle injury.
- Both players were limited in practice on Wednesday.
The Dallas Cowboys are grappling with key injuries as they prepare to face the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday. Wide receiver George Pickens is currently sidelined with a shoulder and hamstring injury, which limited his participation in Wednesday's practice. Adding to the concern, rookie safety Caleb Downs is also dealing with an ankle issue, restricting his ability to practice.
Pickens had a significant role in the Cowboys' recent 38-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, recording four catches for 57 yards and a touchdown. Downs contributed five tackles in that same game. The team's depth will be tested if both players are unable to play against the Cardinals, an NFC West opponent with a history of rivalry with Dallas.
Amidst these injury concerns, the Cowboys are also navigating trade rumors. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones has reportedly downplayed speculation about significant moves. However, reports indicate the team had previously inquired about linebacker Patrick Queen of the Pittsburgh Steelers before the trade deadline, as he is in the final year of his contract.
