Dallas Cowboys discuss George Pickens' limited role in recent games

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer addressed the reduced playing time of wide receiver George Pickens. Schottenheimer cited injuries and blocking responsibilities as reasons for Pickens' limited snaps. Pickens has been dealing with a shoulder issue since Week 7. The Cowboys defense continues to seek improvement after facing criticism for inconsistent performances. Defensive tackle Quinnen Williams emphasized that execution is key for the unit moving forward. Health concerns also plague the Cowboys secondary, with two starting defensive backs, Caleb Downs and P.J. Locke, in concussion protocol ahead of their matchup against the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday.
