George Pickens has yet to play his first game with the Dallas Cowboys but it appears the newest face at The Star already made a jersey change. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FRISCO — The Dallas Cowboys are building the anticipation to see their next star-studded receiving duo take the field together. They found No. 1 (or 1A) CeeDee Lamb another running mate, acquiring George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers last month. Advertisement While the team is still working back to football activities from the offseason, there is a clear fit for the two and quarterback Dak Prescott on paper. Lamb operates best out of the slot with his elusive speed and route-running ability. Meanwhile, Pickens touts an apparent one-on-one playmaking prowess that can stretch the field in a significant way. It's a matter now of making everything click through these summer months, but the Cowboys could boast one of the best tandems in the league next season. And with that excitement of how they will look, Pickens has added a little more intrigue this week with a sudden change. Originally choosing and using the No. 13 thus far, it appears he has made a change. The Cowboys shared the image above in a post to X this morning captioned "PICK3NS." There has been no further announcement with regard to a number swap though fans can find Pickens' new jersey on the NFL Shop website. Advertisement Regardless, the last name stitched above the new digit seems to make this shift clear. Coincidentally, this is the second time a Cowboy has switched over from the No. 13 this offseason after DeMarvion Overshown ditched that number for the No. 0 he has coveted since his rookie season. Pickens has not worn the No. 3 to this point, having worn No. 1 at Georgia and No. 14 during his three years with the Steelers. Perhaps some clarity will follow on this sudden change Whichever number he decides to wear, fans will want to see Pickens creating plenty of separation from defenders in the open field where he will be impossible not to recognize.

Kyle Kirkwood wins Detroit Grand Prix, takes second IndyCar race of 2025
When Kyle Kirkwood was asked what happened when Will Power latched onto the back of his car during the first practice lap on Friday, May 30, his annoyance seemed softened by his top-position finish: 'I'm not upset. I don't care. We're P1,' he said. Advertisement He was able to say that again on Sunday, June 1, winning the 2025 Detroit Grand Prix. And he seemed a lot happier with this result than he felt Friday. This is Kirkwood's second win of the IndyCar season, following his win at the 2025 Grand Prix of Long Beach. His best finish in Detroit previously came in 2024, when he finished in fourth place. IndyCar driver Andretti Global's Kyle Kirkwood celebrates winning the Detroit Grand Prix in Detroit on Sunday, June 1, 2025. "The car was flawless," he said. "We were definitely the fastest, and on the restarts, man, the car just came alive." Finishing second was Santino Ferrucci in the No. 14 car, who celebrated his second IndyCar podium and best finish of his young career in IndyCar. Colton Herta, who started the race in the pole position, finished in third place. Advertisement "Kyle was so fast today, so congratulations to him and his team on the win," Ferrucci said. IndyCar driver Andretti Global's Kyle Kirkwood, center, celebrates winning the Detroit Grand Prix next to second place AJ Foyt Racing's Santino Ferrucci, right, and Andretti Global's Colton Herta, left, in Detroit on Sunday, June 1, 2025. Kirkwood paced all drivers leading the race for 48 laps, followed by Christian Rasmussen at 21. The race brought an early surprise with no incidents on the first turn, something that marred the 2023 and 2024 races and the Indy NXT race from earlier in the day. That race paused under a red flag almost immediately after it began when a pileup occurred on Turn 3, causing 17-year-old Max Taylor to bow out on lap 1. The first yellow flag waved on the 15th lap when Felix Rosenqvist in the No. 60 car spun out on Turn 8 and halted facing backwards. The caution lasted for five laps, but the yellow came out once again when Devlin DeFrancesco lost his rear right tire trying to get back into the race. Advertisement With the cool morning temperatures warming up by race time, most drivers in the front half of the field began with the alternate soft tires, while the rest began with hard tires. Those with the softer tires went to the pit much earlier than expected, however, dashing the hopes of a two-stop race for the soft-tire starters. Each driver was required to use each set of tires at least once, per IndyCar rules. Herta, who has won at qualifying at Detroit in two straight years, led for the first 11 laps before entering the pit for his first tire change. It ended up a consequential decision, as Kirkwood edged Herta out for positioning once he emerged from the pit and finished the race two spots ahead of him. After Scott McLaughlin's brief spell in the front, Ed Carpenter Racing's Christian Rasmussen took the lead and stretched it to a two-second advantage for 21 laps before heading into the pit. Rasmussen pitted again 26 laps later but almost immediately ran into the wall after spinning out on cold tires in Turn 2, though he chose to continue despite his car appearing to suffer damage on the right side. Advertisement But that wasn't the biggest crash of the day. Big crash on lap 84 On the fastest part of the track, Louis Foster in the No. 45 car appeared to lose control of his suspension and crashed into Rosenqvist heading into turn 3. Foster's car continued deep into the turnout while Rosenqvist smashed into the tire barrier. "I don't know how the heck that happens," said Foster. "This track is just ridiculously bumpy, and that has to be something to do with it, because that's so uncommon." The bumpiness of the track was a common complaint from drivers during the race weekend. Both drivers exited their cars within minutes and appeared to avoid serious injury despite the crash, though both had to bow out of the race. Rosenqvist exited on a stretcher as he wasn't able to walk to the ambulance and waved to the crowd as he was carried off. Álex Palou doesn't finish the race Defending Indianapolis 500 champion Alex Palou quickly vaulted up to second from a fifth-position start in the early laps but fell behind once again after an early pit. He found himself in the top 5 again by the 45th lap and kept himself in a healthy position until lap 72, when a push from David Malukas sent Palou into the tire barrier at Turn 8. Advertisement The collision was enough to knock Palou out of the race, who couldn't continue his dominant stretch to begin the 2025 season. Despite not being able to finish the race, Palou maintains a strong lead in the overall standings. 'Doesn't feel great, but nothing we could have done there, I think,' said Palou after exiting. Palou to this point has won five of the first seven races of the NTT IndyCar season. This is the first time this season that Palou has not finished in the first or second position.

Santino Ferrucci's car flagged during post-race inspection after Detroit runner-up finish
The No. 14 Chevy of Santino Ferrucci and A.J. Foyt Racing was found to be under the required driver ballast weight following the team's runner-up finish at Sunday's Detroit Grand Prix, IndyCar announced Monday. Though Ferrucci and the No. 14 entry will be allowed to keep its runner-up finish, the entry has been fined $25,000 and has been docked both 25 entrant and driver points, as well as the bonus point for leading a lap. The No. 14 is also ineligible for engine points for Chevy, as well as prize money related to its runner-up finish. Advertisement In IndyCar, if a driver doesn't weigh 185 pounds, extra weight (termed ballast) is added to the car to equal that 185-pound threshold, in order to best level the playing field in terms of the car's race weight to not allow for significant advantages for drivers being lighter (unless they're around the 185-pound threshold). During post-race inspection of the No. 14 after the race, IndyCar discovered that the driver ballast required to bring the weight of Ferrucci and the ballast to 185 pounds was underweight and not within the weight tolerance of up to one pound. The car itself, though, was found to have been 10 pounds over the 1,785-pound minimum weight from road and street courses and competed over the minimum weight requirement during the race, IndyCar said in its Monday release. 'We should beat him': Kyle Kirkwood's win gives Andretti Global confidence it can beat Alex Palou The series found the No. 14 in violation of the following: Advertisement Rule 14.4.2. Driver Equivalency Weight Rule 14.4.2.2. Driver Equivalency Weight must bring the combined weight of the Driver and Driver ballast to 185 pounds. Rule 14.4.2.5. The Driver ballast weight tolerance is 0.00 to + 1.00 pounds. The Driver Equivalency Weight must be installed and secured in the designed location forward of the seatback. This location may only be used for Driver ballast. The penalty drops Ferrucci from 10th (144 points) in the championship to 15th (118 points) seven races into the 2025 season with World Wide Technology Raceway next June 15.

Steelers rookie minicamp standout WR receives George Pickens' No. 14 at OTAs
Steelers rookie minicamp standout WR receives George Pickens' No. 14 at OTAs Say hello to the Steelers newest #14... Montana Lemonious-Craig. — 93.7 The Fan (@937theFan) May 27, 2025 Out with the old, in with the new — it didn't take the Steelers long to replace George Pickens' No. 14 in Pittsburgh. It was reported that Arizona WR Montana Lemonious-Craig, who signed with the Steelers on Day 1 of OTAs, was spotted wearing Pickens' old number on Tuesday. Lemonious-Craig attended the Steelers rookie minicamp a few weeks ago and clearly made the right impression, as Pittsburgh wasted little time bringing him onto the 90-man roster. Pickens' time in No. 14 didn't just end with the Steelers, as the ex-Steelers WR was spotted wearing No. 13 a week ago at Cowboys OTAs. While the organization likely didn't mean anything by it, Lemonious-Craig taking Pickens' No. 14 speaks volumes about the former Steelers wideout making himself both expendable and replaceable with his constant on- and off-the-field antics. Will Lemonious-Craig exceed expectations at OTAs — and potentially training camp — to earn himself and his new No. 14 a spot on the Steelers' 53-man roster?
