Team news: Dallas Cowboys

Despite being limited by calf and knee injuries in practice this week, Cowboys WR George Pickens is expected to play on Thanksgiving against the Chiefs.

Even in a tough matchup against the Chiefs defense, both Pickens and Lamb should be started everywhere you have them

Brian Schottenheimer said George Pickens will practice today.

Pickens seemed to hurt his knee (it's being described as knee/calf) during the Eagles game and did miss some time. However, he made is way back to the field and helped to clinch the game with a key catch at the end. It's a good sign he's back at practice and one would think he'll be good to go for Thanksgiving.

Cowboys COO Stephen Jones says on 105.3 The Fan that WR CeeDee Lamb, OG Tyler Booker and WR KaVontae Turpin could potentially play this week against the Commanders.

Hopefully we'll know more after Wednesday, especially if we see Lamb has been able to practice in any kind of capacity. Since he wasn't placed in IR, it would make some sense the team is targeting Week 7 as a return for Lamb.

The Cowboys ruled out WRs CeeDee Lamb and KaVontae Turpin, as well as starting G Tyler Booker and T Tyler Guyton for Sunday's game vs. the Jets.

It should be the Pickens/Ferguson show once again, as they both project as top-5, volume-based plays at their respective positions. There is at least some hope for Lamb returning in Week 6, so managers can breathe a sigh of relief.

Cowboys not ready to make calls until after practice on status of injured guys like Tyler Guyton, Tyler Smith, KaVontae Turpin. "We've got to figure out a number of guys," Brian Schottenheimer said. CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Booker will miss second straight game.

Pro Bowl wide receiver CeeDee Lamb could miss 3-4 weeks with a high left ankle sprain suffered in Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears, according to a source.

Earlier today we reported Lamb said he'd be able to play in Week 4 but we had our doubts about that considering it's a high ankle sprain. Three-four weeks seems like a more realistic outcome for the Cowboys WR1. It's worth keeping an eye on, but his chances of playing in Week 4 don't seem very good. The one bit of good news is reports say the team doesn't plan to put him on IR, meaning they hope he's back within four weeks.

The post went on to say Lamb said after the game yesterday that he’d be able to play next Sunday, but Jones made it sound like they’re gonna wait and see how the week goes before determining that. We all know by now we can't trust a player when it comes to his playing status. Lamb's ankle injury didn't look good, especially if you happened to see the still images on social media. But it's at least some good news that Lambs thinks he can play. However, owners should probably prepare to be without him at least for Week 4. The Cowboys play the Sunday night game at home against the Packers in Week 4.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told reporters that WR CeeDee Lamb’s ankle injury is “not as serious as it could have been.”

A sigh of relief for the Cowboys. Lamb left the game after his leg and ankle were rolled up on a rushing attempt. He would later return to the game before exiting again. Jones did also add “Let’s just keep our fingers crossed.” We’ll see if Lamb does have to miss time, adding insult to injury after the Cowboys gave the Bears their first win of the season. Lamb was held without a catch in the loss.

The Cowboys ruled out WR CeeDee Lamb with an ankle injury.

Lamb had left the game earlier in the day and come back before leaving again. Lamb was initially hurt on a rushing attempt early in the game and had his leg rolled up on. Lamb did not record a catch.

One aspect of Thursday's game that's being overlooked, imo, is how George Pickens lackadaisical route running really hurt the Cowboys in some key moments (little attempt to pick Cooper DeJean on the 4th down throw to CeeDee Lamb).

Of course, this is just one writer's opinion but something he noticed. He went on to point out when Pickens' isn't the primary or secondary option, "his route running effort went into the dumpster." Owning said it hurt the Cowboys because Pickens was "not stressing the defense to create openings for others in those situations." It's hard to tell if this could have a direct affect on fantasy. In the end, the team could take Pickens off the field for plays where he may not be involved, and that's never a good thing.
