George Pickens is officially good to go for the Cowboys’ Sunday matchup against the Cardinals. That’s big news considering he’s been battling shoulder and hamstring issues, originally landing him questionable for Week 8. This dude has been a force lately, hitting paydirt in two of his last three games, and now he is looking to make it three out of four this weekend.
Pickens’ Drive Puts The Cardinals On Notice
You can’t deny the impact Pickens has had, especially finding the end zone so consistently. He is already sitting at 37 catches for 485 yards this season, showing he is a major part of that offense. The shoulder and hamstring concerns are real, obviously, but the fact he avoided the inactive list tells you everything you need to know about his drive and the team’s trust in him. The Cardinals defense will have their hands full trying to contain him, even if he isn’t 100 percent.
Injuries And Inactives For Week 8 Showdowns
It is not just Pickens playing through it though. Defensive tackle Kenny Clark was also questionable with a back injury, but he is in the lineup too. So both key guys are suiting up for Dallas. For the Cardinals, we are seeing QB Carson Beck, CB Starling Thomas, RB Evan Hull, LB Eku Leota, OL Jon Gaines, OL Albert Reese, and DL Walter Nolen as their inactive guys. On the Cowboys side, WR KaVontae Turpin, CB Shavon Revel, LB Dee Winters, LB Tyrus Wheat, OL Drew Shelton, and TE Luke Schoonmaker are out for Week 8.
So, the Cowboys are getting their playmakers on the field, even dinged up. Sunday against the Cardinals is going to be a real test, and you know all eyes will be on Pickens to see if he can keep that touchdown streak alive. Can he get that third TD in four games? We will find out soon enough.
