Pickens (calf/knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Dallas listed Pickens as a non-participant and a limited participant on two of their practice reports last week while he dealt with the same two injuries, but he proceeded to play 53 snaps in the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day win over the Chiefs and finished with six catches for 88 yards on a season-high 13 targets. Now that he's already achieved a full listing on Dallas' second practice report of Week 14, Pickens is seemingly in a better spot on the health front heading into Thursday's game against the Lions. On the heels of another big game, Pickens looks like a must-start option versus a leaky Detroit defense that lost one of its starting cornerbacks in Terrion Arnold (shoulder) to a season-ending injury in Week 13.
