What happened: Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens indicated he plans to play this week despite dealing with a hamstring injury. When asked about his availability, Pickens told reporters that anyone tuning in will see him on the field. Pickens remains officially listed as questionable after participating in Thursday's practice.
Why it matters: Dallas enters the week at 4-5 in 2026 through nine games, holding the 10th seed in the NFC playoff picture following a win over Indianapolis. Having Pickens available preserves the Cowboys' primary perimeter threat as the team attempts to reach .500.
By the numbers: Pickens has caught 39 passes for 533 yards and 2 touchdowns in 2026 through 8 games. The Cowboys have a 4-5 record through nine games this season.
What to watch: The Cowboys will announce Pickens' final playing status when official inactive lists are submitted 90 minutes before kickoff on Sunday.
