Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens had his biggest game of the 2026 campaign in Week 5.
Pickens ripped off 130 yards and one touchdown on nine receptions, which amounted to his most productive showing over five games.
However, early on in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers, Pickens has been nowhere to be found.
Here's a closer look at what's going on.
Is George Pickens playing tonight?
Yes, Pickens is healthy and active, he just hasn't been targeted yet through two drives.
The Cowboys' offense is off to a terrible start, with the unit getting just one first down over two drives, so there really hasn't been much of an opportunity for Pickens to get going.
