What happened: Dallas Cowboys receiver George Pickens will not play Sunday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Pickens was listed questionable for the 1:00 PM ET game at Indianapolis with a hamstring issue, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reported.

Why it matters: Dallas enters 3-5 after a 30-33 loss to Arizona on Nov. 1. The NFL trade deadline arrives Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET, and Dak Prescott dismissed trade rumors surrounding Pickens earlier this week.

By the numbers: Pickens has 39 catches for 533 yards and 2 touchdowns in 2026 through 8 games.

What to watch: Kickoff is 1:00 PM ET at Indianapolis. The Cowboys have until Tuesday's deadline to make any roster moves by trade.
