What happened: The Dallas Cowboys anticipate that wide receiver George Pickens will attend the team's upcoming mandatory minicamp. Pickens was previously absent from Cowboys OTAs, which are voluntary.

Why it matters: Dallas acquired Pickens in a trade during the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and he is slated to play the season on the franchise tag. His presence at mandatory sessions is critical for integrating into the offense and building chemistry.

What to watch: The Cowboys' coaching staff will look to get Pickens up to speed with the playbook as the team looks ahead to training camp.
