Cowboys' George Pickens Serves as 'Coach Pickens' During Minicamp

George Pickens will skip team drills at the Cowboys’ mandatory minicamp and instead be “Coach Pickens,” focusing on individual work as the team limits exposure to injury. He signed the franchise tag in April and skipped the voluntary offseason program, facing a $107,911 fine for missing mandatory minicamp. Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer says his presence shows commitment to the locker room, while Pickens remains on a one-year, $27.3 million tag as the club considers a longer deal after a Pro Bowl-caliber 2025 season (93 receptions, 1,429 yards, 9 TDs).

Willis Finds Tolbert in Day 1 of Dolphins Minicamp Amid Returns and Rehab Updates

Day 1 of the Dolphins’ mandatory minicamp was non-padded and skewed toward the passing game, with Malik Willis hitting Jalen Tolbert for a 20-yard gain during a play-action sequence after early runs by Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II. The defense flashed at times with stops, a JuJu Brents interception in 7-on-7, and a sack by Josh Uche. De’Von Achane and Austin Jackson returned to limited drills after injuries, while several players rehabbing sat out. Special teams saw a fumble on a kickoff return by Malik Washington, but most others handled returns well, and rookies like Chris Johnson contributed to ball disruption during drills.

Jaylen Waddle Shines Amidst Inconsistent Tua-less Dolphins Minicamp

During the second day of the Miami Dolphins minicamp, wide receiver Jaylen Waddle excelled with multiple catches, including a 60-yard touchdown, though the defense generally dominated the 11-on-11 drills. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa avoided 11-on-11 drills and had a less efficient day in 7-on-7 action. Notably, linebacker Jaelan Phillips showed no signs of his previous limp, and cornerback Jalen Ramsey was versatile in his defensive role. Coach Mike McDaniel canceled the third day of practice in favor of a walkthrough after being satisfied with the team's performance.
