With CeeDee Lamb Sidelined, George Pickens Becomes Cowboys’ Top Target

Dallas keeps Lamb off injured reserve for now, preserving flexibility during his recovery.

Overview

  • CeeDee Lamb sustained a high-ankle sprain in Week 3 and is expected to miss multiple weeks, though Brian Schottenheimer said an IR move could still happen.
  • George Pickens embraces the interim WR1 role, saying he wants to “show up for Dak,” after opening the season with 13 catches for 166 yards and two touchdowns.
  • Dak Prescott expressed strong confidence in Pickens and said their on-field communications are ongoing to fine-tune timing and route expectations.
  • Schottenheimer said Pickens was already a focal point and his role does not fundamentally change, with Jake Ferguson, Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin likely to see added targets.
  • Dallas is 1-2 and prepares for Sunday night’s home game against the Packers on September 28.
