Latest News about George Pickens
Pickens was listed as a limited practice participant with a shoulder injury before the Week 7 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He was later upgraded to a full participant and said the shoulder would not keep him out of the Monday night matchup.
Pickens drew public criticism after the Cowboys lost 24-16 at home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he had a 130-yard, one-touchdown game on nine catches. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer also publicly called for more from him in a key area as Dallas looked to reach the postseason.
The Cowboys and Pickens did not reach a long-term extension before the league deadline, so he is set to play the 2026 season on the franchise tag. Reports said the deal is worth about $27.3 million and cannot be extended until after Dallas' final regular-season game.
