Ever since acquiring him in an offseason trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers, wideout George Pickens has been a revelation for the Dallas Cowboys.

Pickens entered Week 14 with the team lead in receiving yards, and he ranks second in the NFL in that category, also.

However, Pickens isn't putting up big numbers after a half of football against the Detroit Lions on Thursday night.

Here's what's up.

Is George Pickens playing tonight?

Yes, Pickens is healthy and getting snaps, he just hasn't been very involved in the offense thus far with two catches for 15 yards on three targets.

Pickens nearly had a long touchdown catch but was interfered with.

It also doesn't help that quarterback Dak Prescott seems to prefer fellow wideout CeeDee Lamb more.

Hopefully the second half yields better results.
