Diggs Ruled Out; Clowney Questionable Against Detroit

The upcoming game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions is surrounded by injury updates that may impact team performance. Significant developments were reported in the days leading up to the Thursday night matchup.

Injuries Impacting the Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has made a positive recovery. After being limited in practice on Monday, he upgraded to full participation by Tuesday. Alongside him, defensive ends Dante Fowler and James Houston, along with safety Donovan Wilson, also fully participated in practice.

However, not all news is good for the Cowboys. Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney continues to struggle with a hamstring issue and did not practice for the second consecutive day. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer mentioned that Clowney would be rehabbing and may conduct a workout before the game to assess his readiness. Additionally, Tyler Guyton, who has an ankle injury, also missed practice for the second day in a row.

Ongoing Concerns for Detroit

The Detroit Lions are dealing with their own injury woes. Both starting offensive tackles, Taylor Decker and Penei Sewell, are sidelined due to shoulder injuries and did not take part in practice on Tuesday. Their absence may disrupt the offensive line’s stability.

Furthermore, All-Pro wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been unable to practice for two consecutive days due to an ankle injury. In addition, cornerback Terrion Arnold has been moved to injured reserve, adding depth concerns for Detroit’s defense.
