The Dallas Cowboys will be facing the Arizona Cardinals this week, and they have a few key players who have been dealing with injuries this week. George Pickens, Caleb Downs and Quinnen Williams were all limited at practice this week, and when head coach Brian Schottenheimer was asked about their status heading into the game, he didn't seem bothered.
“Even though Caleb Downs (ankle), George Pickens (shoulder) and Quinnen Williams (hamstring) were limited Thursday, Brian Schottenheimer did not seem concerned about their availability for Sunday,” ESPN's Todd Archer wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
That's good news for the Cowboys, as they look to get another win this week to stay in the NFC East race. The New York Giants are in the lead right now, but the Cowboys can get hot at any moment and pull off a string of wins. The thing is that the Cowboys haven't been very consistent this season, and there's no telling what team you're going to get on a week-to-week basis.
Schottenheimer admitted that the team needs a sense of steadiness, and the hope is that they can find it before it's too late.

Another good week, another opponent coming in there with a lot of challenges that they're going to present, but it's more about us and the lack of consistency,” Schottenheimer said via the Associated Press' Schuyler Dixon.
First, the Cowboys need to make sure that they're healthy, and players like Pickens, Downs and Williams are important to their success on both sides of the ball. If they can pick up a win this week, they'll be back at .500 for the season, and it'll be interesting to see where things go from there.
