NFL Week 12 picks: Consider Browns, Vikings and Eagles
Lorenzo Reyes went 2-1 with his picks last week and he’s ready to carry that energy over to Week 12’s slate.
The Dallas Cowboys have been inching toward full health after a bad run early in the season, but as Dallas prepares to take on the Philadelphia Eagles, there was a notable name on Wednesday’s injury report: Quarterback Dak Prescott.
Fortunately for the Cowboys’ tiny playoff chances, an injured hip doesn’t seem likely to keep him out of Sunday’s game with Philadelphia, which amounts to a last stand.
Meanwhile, details are emerging about why George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb were benched for one possession in the win over the Raiders, so evidently, what happened in Vegas didn’t stay there. But like the Prescott injury, it isn’t too salacious.
Here is what the Cowboys are doing as they try to save a season.
Cowboys Injury Report: Dak Prescott
Dallas didn’t release an official injury report but this is the estimated one. No one missed Wednesday’s practice but the following players were considered limited: DE Jadeveon Clowney (shoulder/neck); DE Dante Fowler (shoulder); S Malik Hooker (toe); QB Dak Prescott (hip); G Tyler Smith (knee); DT Solomon Thomas (calf); S Donovan Wilson (elbow/shoulder).
Anything there stand out?
Coach Brian Schottenheimer addressed it with words that shouldn’t overly worry Cowboys fans. Quarterback Dak Prescott will be on the report because he was “banged around a little bit in the game” and is “a little sore.” Most importantly, he said the injury is “nothing major.”
That’s good, because Prescott is 21-2 against NFC East opponents at home. The .913 win percentage is the best by any quarterback at home against a division rival since the NFL merger.
CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Las Vegas
Star receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens spent the first series in the win over Las Vegas on the bench because, according to Schottenheimer, “some things that were missed.”
These things were missed in Las Vegas, which of course led to rumors about them up all night at a craps table. As it turns out, according to Dallas Cowboys Insider reporter Clarence Hill Jr., and reported by Sports Illustrated, the details aren’t particularly juicy.
Hill Jr. wrote: “I was told CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens didn’t miss curfew. They were at dinner with cowboys teammates Sunday night and then missed some meetings afterwards, per source. Not out all night or whatever rumors are out there.”
When does Dallas play again?
The Cowboys host the Philadelphia Eagles at AT&T Stadium in Arlington Sunday. The 2:20 p.m. MT/3:20 p.m. CT game will be televised on FOX.
Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving game 2025: vs. Kansas City Chiefs
The Dallas Cowboys have a quick turnaround after Sunday’s game with Philadelphia, as they host the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day. The 2:30 p.m. MT/3:30 p.m. CT game will be on CBS with Tony Romo announcing.
Post Malone will play halftime. There is no word whether Taylor Swift will be in attendance, though there are obvious (unlikely) rumors that she will join Malone on stage, as they have collaborated in the past.
Trevon Diggs
Dallas cornerback Trevon Diggs has missed the last four games with a mystery concussion he sustained in his home and has one more week on the injured reserve before he can return on Thanksgiving Day.
Schottenheimer gave an update on Diggs and it was positive.
“Brian Schottenheimer says that Solomon Thomas is ‘making progress’ and with Trevon Diggs, ‘all signs are that he’s doing everything he’s supposed to do,’” Cowboys reporter Tommy Yarrish wrote on X. “#Cowboys are doing walkthroughs today, so they’ll know more on the injury front tomorrow.”
