Dallas Cowboys owner, president and general manager Jerry Jones acknowledged that wide receiver George Pickens needs to see the ball more after the team's overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Pickens caught just two passes and was on the field for only 57% of offensive snaps, while fellow wideout Ryan Flournoy played 68% of snaps.
Jones attributed Pickens' limited involvement to the game plan, which featured 39 rushing attempts for only 93 yards. Quarterback Dak Prescott targeted CeeDee Lamb 11 times, while Pickens received just four targets. Flournoy earned more playing time due to his willingness to block in the running game.
Pickens' talent as a pass-catcher is undeniable, but his effort on plays not directed his way continues to be a concern. The situation could affect his long-term future with the Cowboys, who may consider trading him before the November 10 deadline if they lose to the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday.
