Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said on that CeeDee Lamb has a high ankle sprain.

The post went on to say Lamb said after the game yesterday that he’d be able to play next Sunday, but Jones made it sound like they’re gonna wait and see how the week goes before determining that. We all know by now we can't trust a player when it comes to his playing status. Lamb's ankle injury didn't look good, especially if you happened to see the still images on social media. But it's at least some good news that Lambs thinks he can play. However, owners should probably prepare to be without him at least for Week 4. The Cowboys play the Sunday night game at home against the Packers in Week 4.

One aspect of Thursday's game that's being overlooked, imo, is how George Pickens lackadaisical route running really hurt the Cowboys in some key moments (little attempt to pick Cooper DeJean on the 4th down throw to CeeDee Lamb).

Of course, this is just one writer's opinion but something he noticed. He went on to point out when Pickens' isn't the primary or secondary option, "his route running effort went into the dumpster." Owning said it hurt the Cowboys because Pickens was "not stressing the defense to create openings for others in those situations." It's hard to tell if this could have a direct affect on fantasy. In the end, the team could take Pickens off the field for plays where he may not be involved, and that's never a good thing.

Fast forward to the 10th practice of Dallas' training camp on Monday, Javonte Williams is still in pole position and being creatively utilized in 11-on-11 team drills: he lined up on a pass play as the outside wide receiver with wide receiver George Pickens lined up inside in one formation.

On Monday we posted a story about how Blue has been impressing in camp. In this story, it was another rookie in Mafah who earned comments about his performance so far. This is one of the bigger situations to watch because things seem pretty wide open at the RB position.

Details of the Steelers-Cowboys trade expected to be completed today.

Steelers receive 2026 3rd-round pick and a 2027 5th-round pick.

Cowboys receive WR George Pickens and a 2027 6th-round pick.

With the relative lack of impactful Draft compensation, it's a wonder this didn't get done prior to or during the 2025 NFL Draft, but Pickens is on the move regardless.

For the Steelers, this makes Roman Wilson a little more intriguing as he heads into Year 2, and Freiermuth should see a little bump closer to high-end TE2 consideration.

For the Cowboys, this slightly lowers CeeDee Lamb's potentially astronomical target share, but gives QB Dak Prescott a much more reliable No. 2 option in what was already projected as a pass-heavy offense with Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders making up their backfield. Pickens is now more of a high-end WR3 than a fringe WR4.

The Steelers are signing veteran WR Robert Woods to a 1-year, $2M deal. A new target and big-time locker room presence for… whoever their QB ends up being. The former Texans WR lands in a great spot.

Should Woods stick on the team until the regular season, he'll have more of an impact keeping sophomore Roman Wilson on the field than he would for the top of the depth chart. We'll have to wait and see how things shake out with Pickens' status as a Steeler throughout the summer.

The Steelers are sending a 2025 second-round pick to Seattle in exchange for WR DK Metcalf.

Pittsburgh will sign Metcalf to a five-year, $150 million extension, per source.

It was reported that Metcalf wanted to play "somewhere warm" with a competitive quarterback, and the Steelers have exactly zero of those things. Metcalf will battle Pickens as Pittsburgh's WR1, with Justin Fields possibly in pole position as the starting QB. Metcalf should be considered in fringe WR2/3 range.

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.

George Pickens and DeShon Elliott were a full participants in today's walk through.

It's great news for the Steeler offense that Pickens looks to be on track to play in Week 17. The hope would be Pickens is able to log a full workload in the game as well, which is a Christmas Day contest against the Chiefs. It's not the best matchup coming off an injury but Pickens should be back as the team's WR1.

The Steelers ruled out WR George Pickens and QB Justin Fields for Saturday vs. Baltimore.

OLB T.J. Watt (ankle) is off the injury report and will play.

We really can't trust any of these ancillary pieces with Pickens missing, and it comes as a huge downgrade to Russell Wilson and the offense, in general.

Steelers WR George Pickens was listed as did not practice today, TJ Watt was listed as limited.

We really can't be trusting any of these ancillary pieces of Pickens misses, and it would come as a huge downgrade to Russell Wilson and the offense, in general. This is a decent matchup for Pickens, so we'll keep an eye on whether or not he can clear ahead of kickoff.
