  "account": "The Indianapolis Colts are listing seven players as inactive for their upcoming matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. NFL rules limit teams to 48 active and available players for game days. Among the Cowboys' inactive list is wide receiver George Pickens, who was listed as questionable on Friday but is now officially inactive, according to @toddarcher. Cowboys' WR George Pickens is out for Sunday's game. On Friday, tight end Pharaoh Brown (knee) and linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither (knee) were ruled out. Davis-Gaither and Cowboys' cornerback Justin Walley (knee) were also listed as inactive on Friday. Linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither and Cowboys' cornerback Justin Walley were both dealing with knee injuries. Haulcy, a recent addition to the Cowboys, is still getting accustomed to the new playbook. Tight end Will Mallory is also inactive for the game. With Brown and Mallory absent, the Colts will enter the game with only three tight ends available. Wide receiver George Pickens and tight end Will Mallory have missed every game this season.",
