Cowboys face Colts without 3 starters because of injuries, including Pickens
Dallas will turn to Ryan Flournoy and Jordan Hudson after three injured starters were deactivated before Sunday’s game, the team said.
On Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys ruled wide receiver George Pickens inactive for their Week 9 game against the Indianapolis Colts due to shoulder and hamstring injuries.
Despite trade speculation, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the Dallas Cowboys have held firm against moving Pickens, who has dealt with persistent shoulder and hamstring issues since October.
Saturday's roster moves included elevating rookie wide receiver Jordan Hudson and tight end James Mitchell from the practice squad, signaling uncertainty regarding Pickens and Jake Ferguson's availability.
With Pickens sidelined, Ryan Flournoy steps into the No. 2 wide receiver role opposite CeeDee Lamb, gaining a significant opportunity against the Colts.
Sitting at 3-5, the Dallas Cowboys face a critical matchup in Indianapolis before the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday, as a loss could force organizational recalibration.
