[Dallas Cowboys](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/dallas-cowboys) wide receiver George Pickens has been everything the team could have hoped for over his first seven games of the 2025 campaign.
Pickens is serving as the Cowboys' No. 2 receiver behind CeeDee Lamb, but he stepped up in a big way while Lamb was on the shelf with an injury.
However, Pickens is off to a quiet start in the Week 8 game against the [Denver Broncos](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/denver-broncos). Here's a closer look at what's going on.
Is George Pickens playing today?
--------------------------------
Yes, Pickens is active and in the game, he just hasn't recorded a catch yet. Pickens was targeted on Dallas' first drive but did not get a look on the second.
The Cowboys are off to a slow start offensively as a whole and that has clearly impacted Pickens.
We'll see if he gets going on drive No. 3.
