Cowboys Assess Injuries After Narrow Win Over Colts

The Dallas Cowboys left their 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts with new concerns on both sides of the ball. Coach Brian Schottenheimer gave updates after the game, with the team set to host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10.

Wide receiver George Pickens missed the game while dealing with a hamstring injury. Schottenheimer said Pickens had tried to play but ran out of time. Pickens also has a shoulder issue. CeeDee Lamb stepped up in his absence, recording 10 catches for 195 yards and a touchdown.

Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was also ruled out after an ankle problem left him sore. Schottenheimer said Porter had a solid practice Friday, but was too sore the following day. His status for the 49ers game remains to be seen.

Safety P.J. Locke suffered a concussion after taking a hard hit late in the game and needed help leaving the field. It is his second concussion in as many weeks. Schottenheimer offered no further update, saying the team had Locke in its prayers.

Tight end Jake Ferguson injured his left knee on an awkward hit. He recorded two receptions, gaining 21 yards and scoring once. Schottenheimer said Ferguson would undergo further testing after the team returned to its facility on Monday. Brevyn Spann-Ford, who has opened five contests this season, could be an option if Ferguson misses time.
