Cowboys 'hopeful' Pickens (hammy) can play vs. IND
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer is optimistic that wide receiver George Pickens will play in Week 9 against the Colts despite a recent hamstring injury, with Pickens limited in early week practices but no longer listed with a shoulder injury.
- Owner Jerry Jones has expressed frustration over Pickens' usage so far this season and wants him targeted more, suggesting Pickens could see increased involvement in the offense against the Colts.
- Other Cowboys injury updates include Denzel Boston cleared to play, KaVontae Turpin ruled out with ribs injury, and Jake Ferguson listed as questionable with an ankle issue.
- Jaguars are reportedly less inclined to trade wide receiver Brian Thomas due to his importance in their offensive scheme and positive locker room presence, despite interest from teams like the Chiefs, Steelers, and 49ers.
- The Giants are serious suitors for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, but the asking price remains high, with the Colts seeking a first-round pick or a package similar to the Christian McCaffrey trade.
