Pickens' Snaps Cut: Injury or Benching Mystery?
1 Nov
Summary
- George Pickens' snaps significantly decreased in Week 7 due to a shoulder injury.
- Despite a recent injury, Pickens is expected to be part of the Cowboys' game plan.
- The Cowboys offense showed a strong performance in Week 7, scoring 38 points.
The Dallas Cowboys offense demonstrated a strong resurgence in Week 7, accumulating 275 yards in the first half and scoring 38 points. A notable aspect of their performance was a significant decrease in snaps for star wide receiver George Pickens. Pickens played only 41 of 68 offensive snaps, a stark reduction from his usual participation rate.
Initially, speculation arose that Pickens was benched for his run-game blocking. However, it was later revealed that a shoulder injury was the primary reason for his reduced playing time. His snaps were heavily concentrated in the first half, with a dramatic decrease in the second.
Despite being listed as limited in practice and carrying a questionable game designation for Week 8, there is little indication that Pickens will be sidelined. Fantasy owners are encouraged to include him in their lineups for the upcoming Sunday afternoon game against the Arizona Cardinals.
