What happened: George Pickens will attend the Dallas Cowboys' upcoming training camp, according to Mike Garafolo. Pickens, who was absent from Cowboys OTAs earlier this month, reported for mandatory minicamp on Tuesday.

Why it matters: The decision ends concerns over a potential holdout as Pickens prepares to play the 2026 season on a $27.3 million franchise tag. His presence is vital for a Dallas offense that saw him record 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns last season.

By the numbers: Pickens recorded 93 receptions for 1,429 yards and 9 touchdowns in 2025. He is playing the 2026 season on a $27.3 million franchise tag.

What to watch: The Cowboys will manage Pickens' reps during minicamp as he ramps up for the start of training camp in late July.
