Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike Schottenheimer stated he expects wide receiver George Pickens to report for the team’s mandatory minicamp beginning June 16. The voluntary organized team activities conclude Thursday, shifting focus to the required session where Pickens’ presence will be closely watched.
Schottenheimer described recent interactions with Pickens outside the facility as positive, including an appearance at linebacker DeMarvion Overshown’s wedding. Regarding Pickens’ potential workload, the coach indicated a cautious approach to ensure the player’s physical readiness is fully understood before integrating him into full team drills.
Pickens’ attendance would signal a resolution to contract negotiations, which the Cowboys halted earlier. The team has declined to extend his deal before the season, placing the decision to return on the player. If Pickens participates, it suggests he intends to join training camp despite the lack of an immediate contract extension.
