The Dallas Cowboys pulled off a franchise-tying, 21-point comeback victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, but the monumental effort came at a potentially high cost as the team is now dealing with multiple injuries ahead of their short-week Thanksgiving matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Key Player Concerns
-
Tyler Guyton (Left Tackle): The most concerning injury is the high ankle sprain suffered by the starting left tackle, who is expected to miss multiple games. This is a massive blow to the offensive line protection for quarterback Dak Prescott.
-
George Pickens (Wide Receiver): Pickens, who had a huge performance with 9 receptions for 146 yards and a touchdown, is battling a lingering knee/calf injury. He was not on the practice field on Wednesday. While Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer says Pickens is expected to play in Week 13, his limited practice time on a short week is a major worry.
-
Osa Odighizuwa (Defensive End): The defensive end is dealing with an elbow injury and did not participate in Wednesday’s practice, raising concerns about his availability for the defensive line rotation.
Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer confirmed the team’s condition, stating, “We’re beat up a little bit” and that everyone is “pretty sore after a physical game.”
The Cowboys now have a brutally short turnaround as they host the Chiefs at AT&T Stadium on Thanksgiving Day, severely limiting their time to recover and prepare for one of the league’s top teams. The mounting injuries, especially on the offensive and defensive lines, pose a significant threat to their chances of securing a crucial win.
