George Pickens gives Dallas Cowboys fans heart attack after going down grabbing leg

The Dallas Cowboys' second day of training camp was on Wednesday, and they had a scare involving one of their biggest stars.

Wide receiver George Pickens, who was added in an offseason trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers, went to the ground and grabbed his left calf.

Thankfully, Pickens was able to get up and walk off the field on his own power.

Staying healthy is always the goal during training camp, but it's not always possible. Dallas knows this all too well after losing defensive end Sam Williams to a torn ACL during camp last year. The previous season, they watched linebacker DeMarvion Overshown go down with a torn ACL during the preseason.

Following the loss of Williams in 2024, the Cowboys continued to drop during the 2024 regular season. Quarterback Dak Prescott, guard Zack Martin, and cornerbacks Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland all missed significant time.

Dallas can at least breathe a sigh of relief with Pickens, who is set to add some much-needed firepower to their offense. The former Pittsburgh Steelers wideout put up impressive numbers during his career, despite subpar quarterback play, and is ready to prove he's among the best in the game with the Cowboys.
