The Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers are set to bolster their respective offensive lineups as both teams prepare for a high-stakes Week 10 clash.
Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has been cleared for play after practicing in full on Friday, according to reports on X.
Pickens previously missed the team’s contest in Indianapolis while managing shoulder and hamstring injuries, although he identified the hamstring as his primary limitation.
When asked about his status for the upcoming home game against the 7-1 49ers, Pickens offered a confident outlook, stating to reporters: “When you turn that TV on, get some food, make sure if you have a wife or a girlfriend, make sure you hug her, love her, and when you turn the TV on, you should see me.”
San Francisco is simultaneously welcoming back Deebo Samuel, who has been sidelined since Week 5 due to a hamstring injury, as noted by Yahoo Sports.
Samuel, who has recorded 206 yards and three touchdowns this season, returns to a receiving corps that remains without Mike Evans, who is out with an Achilles injury.
The 49ers also recently bolstered their roster by trading for Keenan Allen earlier this week.
Defensive challenges persist for both organizations as they approach the weekend.
Dallas cornerbacks DaRon Bland and Joey Porter Jr. are listed as questionable, while safety P.J. Locke has been ruled out, as reported by Cowboys Wire.
San Francisco faces similar concerns, with four cornerbacks currently listed as questionable on the team’s injury report.
With both passing attacks ranking in the league’s top 10 for touchdowns, the return of these offensive weapons could lead to significant scoring activity.
The Cowboys currently rank third in passing yards per game, while the 49ers remain among the league leaders in yards per catch, per USA Today Sports data.
