Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. sits out with an ankle issue after only four games and eight tackles since his October trade. Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is also ruled out due to back and hamstring injuries, having recorded 20 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble in limited action.

Hours before Week 9’s showdown with the Indianapolis Colts, the Dallas Cowboys announce three key absences: wideout George Pickens (shoulder/hamstring), cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (ankle) and linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (hamstring/back). Pickens, who’s posted 533 yards in eight games, was a primary deep threat for Dak Prescott, while Porter’s loss further weakens a secondary already plagued by injuries. The injury list also includes All‑Pro returner KaVontae Turpin and several other role players, leaving a 3‑5 Cowboys team shorthanded as it fights to stay playoff‑relevant.
The Brooklyn Nets travel to Dallas for a 7:30 PM EST showdown with a Mavericks team eager to return to the playoffs after a 112‑100 NBA Cup win over Utah. The Nets, fresh off a 124‑121 loss to Atlanta where they blew a late rebounding advantage, must rely on Kyrie Irving’s rebounding‑free scoring (21 ppg, career‑high three‑point rate) and Nolan Traoré’s burst of 19 points and five steals. Dallas deals with injuries to Tarik Biberovic, Dereck Lively II, and Sergio de Larrea, while youngster Cooper Flagg (19) draws hype as a top‑ten talent despite recent fourth‑quarter silence. Key matchup: the Nets’ glass battle versus Dallas’s Daniel Gafford and Morez Johnson.
NFL Insider Jordan Schultz says the Indianapolis Colts are likely to retain star running back Jonathan Taylor through the trade deadline, as no team has met their hefty price tag. Only the New York Giants have offered a second‑round pick plus extra compensation, falling short of the Colts' demand for a ‘Christian McCaffrey‑esque’ haul or a future first‑rounder. Taylor, 27, has logged 148 carries for 610 yards (4.1 YPC) and eight touchdowns in eight starts this season. Owner Carlie Irsay‑Gordon views him as a rebuild cornerstone, so unless a “king’s ransom” materializes, he stays, though his workload may be eased ahead of the Cowboys game.
The Dallas Cowboys deactivate wide receiver George Pickens for the Week 9 showdown with the Indianapolis Colts due to a lingering hamstring injury that limited his practice participation. Coach Brian Schottenheimer keeps him out to avoid a long‑term setback, promoting rookie Ryan Flournoy to the WR2 spot behind CeeDee Lamb as KaVontae Turpin also misses with a rib injury. Pickens has logged just 39 catches for 533 yards and two touchdowns in eight starts this season, and must regain health before free agency.
The Dallas Cowboys announce three key inactives for Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts: wide receiver George Pickens (shoulder and hamstring), cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (ankle), and linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (back and hamstring). Additional cuts include WR KaVontae Turpin, LB Tyrus Wheat, OL Ajani Cornelius and TE Luke Schoonmaker. Pickens’ absence follows week‑long speculation and fuels rumors of a possible trade before the deadline, while Porter’s injury history remains unsettled since his recent acquisition.
Pickens misses his first game since Dallas traded for him in May 2025, while Jake Ferguson is active after a questionable tag.
Brooklyn Nets coach Jordi Fernandez confirms rookie guard Mikel Brown Jr. will sit out the Sunday back‑to‑back against the Dallas Mavericks because medical staff haven’t cleared him for consecutive games. Despite being healthy, Brown’s recent back and ankle injuries and a strict minutes cap—23.1 minutes per game in his first seven outings—prompt a cautious approach to protect his long‑term health. Brown, the No. 6 pick, has been productive, posting 18 points vs. Charlotte and 13 fourth‑quarter points vs. Atlanta, and averages 12.9 points, 3.9 assists and 31.1% from three this season. The Nets also lose forward Egor Demin to a leg bruise.
