Cowboys | Reporter doesn't 'get any sense' Cowboys interested in trading George Pickens Tue Nov 10, 02:32 PM
The reporter does not "get any sense the Cowboys are interested in moving" WR George Pickens before the trade deadline. Teams have been curious and "maybe a big offer is to come," but it "seems like Dallas will hold on to Pickens," who is slated to be a free agent after the season.

The Cowboys are signing RB Kendre Miller to their practice squad as Dallas looks for running back help after RB Tyler Goodson injured his knee against the Colts.
| Footballguys view: Miller was released by the Saints last week. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had said on 105.3 The Fan that the team will add a running back, most likely a free agent. Miller had 57 carries for 159 yards and two touchdowns, plus nine catches for 37 yards, for the Saints. |

Cowboys RB Tyler Goodson is dealing with a sprained MCL and ACL in his knee, according to a source. Owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday that the team will add a running back that day, and it will be via a free-agent signing rather than a trade.
| Footballguys view: With Goodson set for a multi-week absence, and with Malik Davis on injured reserve, Javonte Williams and fullback Hunter Luepke are the only healthy backfield options. We'll be watching for possible additions, but Williams' high-volume role is secure heading into the fantasy stretch run. |

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on Tuesday that WR George Pickens and CB Joey Porter Jr. not playing in Sunday's win over the Colts was "100% injury related."
| Footballguys view: Pickens had been listed with shoulder and hamstring injuries before being ruled out for that game. While there's been speculation that Pickens could be available in a trade, there's been no concrete reporting that a move is imminent. Jones did say during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan that we shouldn't "count out" the Cowboys potentially making a move on Tuesday, but added, "I don't look for us to make a significant trade today." |

Cowboys RB Tyler Goodson will miss "multiple weeks" with a knee injury, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Goodson was injured in Sunday's win over the Colts. Dallas has become more reliant on the run, but will now need to look elsewhere for additional depth behind Javonte Williams until Goodson is healthy enough to return to the field. |

Cowboys WR George Pickens (hamstring) will go through the same process as last week before the team determines whether he can play Sunday against the 49ers.
| Footballguys view: Pickens, who was ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Colts, was previously bothered by a shoulder issue. Now the hamstring is the problem. Ryan Flournoy moves up in the rotation if Pickens can't play this week. |

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (knee) is likely out multiple weeks, it was reported on Monday. .
| Footballguys view: Ferguson went down with a left knee injury in Sunday's Week 9 win over the Colts and was listed as questionable to return. Brevyn Spann-Ford moves into the starting lineup with Ferguson out. |

Cowboys RB Tyler Goodson (knee) is "probably gonna miss some time," Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Monday. "He's got a real injury that unfortunately he's probably gonna miss some time with," Jones said.
| Footballguys view: Goodson was hurt in Sunday's win over the Colts and was initially questionable to return before going back into the game. As SI.com noted, Goodson's injury stings because he provided some explosiveness to the running game as the offense was attempting to get back on track. Dallas has become more reliant on the run, but will now need to look elsewhere for additional depth behind Javonte Williams until Goodson is healthy enough to return to the field. |

Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams ran 20 times for 101 yards and a touchdown and also caught 4 passes for 23 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 16.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.4.
| Footballguys view: Tyler Goodson added 77 yards on his 12 carries as the Cowboys offensive line had its best run-blocking performance of the season. Williams has two 100-yard games in his last three outings heading into a home game against the 49ers. |

Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb caught 10 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown on 16 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 19.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.5.
| Footballguys view: Lamb also fumbled close to the Colts' 10-yard line on a bizarre play when he wasn't touched down and got up to tack 30ish yards onto his total on the day. George Pickens missed this one with a hamstring injury, which opened the door for Lamb to take on most of the downfield pass offense. We'll see if Pickens can rally to play in a classic NFC matchup with San Francisco at home next week. |

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott completed 21 of 34 passes for 335 yards with 2 touchdowns and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 19.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.5.
| Footballguys view: The Colts pass defense had a lot of trouble finding and covering CeeDee Lamb, who accounted for more than half of Prescott's 335 passing yards. A banged-up Malik Willis will take aim at the Colts wilting defense next week, while Prescott will host an underrated 49ers defense. |

Cowboys WR George Pickens (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Colts. Pickens was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Luckily, the Cowboys play early, so fantasy managers will have no dearth of pivot options if needed. Practicing all week is a promising sign, and both Jerry Jones and Brian Schottenheimer said they share a desire to get Pickens more involved. If active, Pickens is a volatile WR2. If he's inactive, Ryan Flournoy moves from risky WR3 firmly into WR2 discussion. |

Cowboys rookie S Caleb Downs is good to go for Sunday's game against the Colts. Downs was ruled out of last Sunday's game against the Cardinals while being evaluated for a concussion and was in the concussion protocol on Monday.

There is "optimism" for Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (ankle) ahead of Sunday's game at the Colts, coming out of the team's Friday game status report. Ferguson did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday because of the ankle sprain.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson was the per-game TE31 going into the Week 8 game in which he was injured. The Cowboys have leaned more on three-receiver sets lately, and Ryan Flournoy's emergence has come at Ferguson's expense. Even if he's active, Ferguson isn't startable. And in most leagues, it's hard to even justify rostering him. |
Jake Ferguson player page
Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (ankle) did not practice on Thursday, his second straight missed session. Dallas is preparing to face the Colts on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Brevyn Spann-Ford is set to be the top tight end for the Cowboys in Week 9. He took over for an injured Ferguson last week, and Spann-Ford posted four catches (five targets) for 31 yards in Dallas' Week 8 loss to Arizona. We like Spann-Ford as a TE2 with upside if Ferguson is out for the game against the Colts. |

Cowboys WR George Pickens (hamstring) was limited at practice again on Thursday. He was also limited on Wednesday. Dallas visits the Colts on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: That's back-to-back limited sessions for Pickens. We'll see if he can get a full session in on Friday. Then, we'll see if the Cowboys make good on what Jerry Jones said in terms of getting Pickens the ball more. |

Cowboys TE Brevyn Spann-Ford played 65 offensive snaps and 14 on special teams, taking over the team's TE1 spot in the overtime loss to the Cardinals. He was targeted five times and made four catches for 31 yards, and added a special teams tackle. Span-Ford "appears to be the new TE1 in Dallas."
| Footballguys view: Spann-Ford caught 4-of-5 targets for 31 yards in Dallas' Week 8 loss to Arizona. That happened after Jake Ferguson suffered an ankle injury early against the Cardinals. Ferguson missed Wednesday's practice, and if he's out in Week 9 we like Spann-Ford as a TE2 with upside. |

Cowboys WR George Pickens is expected to remain in Dallas through the trade deadline, as he "remains content in Dallas and doesn't want to be moved, nor does Dallas plan to trade him," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. ESPN's Dan Graziano added that teams have wondered whether the 3-5 Cowboys would consider dealing Pickens, who is headed for 2027 free agency, but "I do not get the sense that Dallas would consider such a move." Pickens had four targets in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, fewer than TE Brevyn Spann-Ford, and has 39 catches for 533 yards and two touchdowns through eight games.
| Footballguys view: As Pickens walked off the field at the end of the loss to the Cardinals, fans began to speculate about his status with the team. It all seems to be fine, and Jerry Jones said in a Tuesday radio interview on 105.3 The Fan that he is not looking to be a seller at the deadline. |

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson was going through resistance training on Wednesday as he works back from an ankle injury. Ferguson suffered a low ankle sprain against the Cardinals on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Let's circle back to see what Ferguson can do on Friday. Brevyn Spann-Ford would get more work if Ferguson has to miss Week 9. |
Jake Ferguson player page
Cowboys WR George Pickens went from playing 55-60 offensive snaps per game over the first six weeks to 41 and 42 the last two weeks because he's been banged up. Pickens was limited in practice all last week with shoulder and hamstring injuries. He was at practice on Wednesday and was moving well in the portion open to reporters.
| Footballguys view: On Tuesday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Pickens "needs the ball coming in his direction more." He's not getting traded, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, despite fan speculation, and if Pickens is healthy he should get more work. Against the Colts, Pickens is a WR2 with WR1 upside in what could be a bounce-back game for the Cowboys after losing to the Cardinals in Week 8. |

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is healthy, owner Jerry Jones said on Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan. "I thought he played well (Sunday) considering the protection and us not being able to get the running game going," Jones said of Prescott's performance in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: For the second time this season, Prescott threw for fewer than 200 yards (195) against Arizona. His touchdown pass required a one-handed catch from WR Ryan Flournoy. Prescott was able to use his legs, picking up his first rushing touchdown of the season, but, as ESPN.com's Todd Archer suggested, for a team with so many playmakers, the Cowboys have been kept in check in three of their past four games. |

Cowboys rookie DE Malachi Lawrence suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Cardinals and could miss multiple weeks, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Monday. "Malachi has [an injury] that might be a little bit longer... Looks like it could be a few weeks," Schottenheimer said, adding that the team will do more testing and that Lawrence's injury is "a little different" from the ankle injuries to TE Jake Ferguson and CB Joey Porter Jr. Lawrence, who had taken over a starting outside linebacker job over the last three games, played 38 snaps with four quarterback pressures on Sunday and has 13 tackles, three quarterback hits and a sack in eight games. With Lawrence set to miss time, the Cowboys' OLB room includes Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku, James Houston, Von Miller and Tyrus Wheat.

Cowboys rookie S Caleb Downs is in the concussion protocol, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Downs must go through the five-step return-to-participation process and will have a full week to try to get cleared before the Week 9 game at the Colts on Sunday. He played 53 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, recording four tackles, including a goal-line stop of RB Jeremiyah Love on fourth-and-goal. Downs was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday last week with an ankle injury. |

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson suffered a low ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson only managed four offensive snaps before an ankle injury caused him to miss the rest of the game. The Cowboys started the game down one tight end, as TE Luke Schoonmaker was inactive with a groin injury. This led Dallas to elevate James Mitchell from the practice squad, and he served as the TE2 behind Brevyn Spann-Ford, who has recently cut into Ferguson's work on early downs. |

| Footballguys view: Let's see what Pickens can do on Friday, as he's limited on Wednesday with a known shoulder issue and now a new hamstring designation. Pickens should produce like a WR2 (borderline WR1) against the Cardinals in Week 8. |
