The Dallas Cowboys are hosting the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day for Thursday Night Football, and it is considered one of the most anticipated matchups of Thanksgiving Day Weekend. There are plenty of comebacks and action to be expected, so who will be playing and who will be out with an injury?

Dallas Cowboys
George Pickens – Available
After not participating during Monday’s practice, the wide receiver finally returned on Tuesday and is expected to suit up for the Cowboys on Thursday.

Cowboys vs. Chiefs Prediction
Things have been going well for the Cowboys so far this week, with George Pickens coming back and few key players being injured. They also have the home field advantage.
However, the Chiefs are now back in their usual playoff form and are aiming for a championship. It is more than likely that Kansas City would take this one.
