Cowboys WR George Pickens puts 49ers’ wives on notice with cheeky injury update

The Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers are two of the NFL’s most popular teams with a historical rivalry that dates back decades.

This is why the two sides attract a lot of attention whenever they play each other, which they’re doing once again on Sunday.

The 4-5 Cowboys will need every star they have rostered available if they’re to beat the 7-1 49ers. And it sounds like they will have star wide receiver George Pickens on the field, given a comment he made when speaking to a reporter on Friday.

“Tell your wife or your girl to turn the TV on, and she’ll see me on the field,” Pickens told Dallas reporter Nick Harris.

Pickens has been dealing with a persistent hamstring injury, which is why his status for Sunday’s game in San Francisco was seen as uncertain until he made this comment.

The 49ers players have many prominent wives and girlfriends, including George Kittle’s wife Claire, Kyle Juszczyk’s wife Kristen, and Christian McCaffrey’s wife Olivia Culpo, to name a few.

Granted, Pickens was not calling them out specifically with this comment, as he appeared to be alluding more so to the reporter who asked the question.

But his comments still create another reason why wives and girlfriends around the 49ers and NFL community should tune in on Sunday.
