George Pickens could be explosive for Cowboys – one way or another
OXNARD, CA – It was the last play of practice. George Pickens, running a sharp comeback route, snagged Dak Prescott's short pass to the left flat and urgently juked a defender near the sideline. Then he cut against the grain and streaked across the field for at least another 50 yards with a purpose. The crowd roared. Pickens didn't stop until he crossed the goal line. Then he added theatrics. The wide receiver stretched both arms toward the sky and crashed on his back. It was also significant that two of his new Dallas Cowboys teammates – Cee Dee Lamb and tight end Jake Ferguson – sprinted downfield to join Pickens in a celebration. What a snapshot of training camp bliss. Big play, big celebration. 'Team brotherhood, yeah,' Pickens told USA TODAY Sports a few minutes later. 'Really, I'm just embracing it. And it's about them embracing me, too.' Welcome to the next chapter of Pickens' NFL career. The Cowboys obtained the fourth-year pro from the Pittsburgh Steelers in a post-draft trade in May and there are grand visions of the big plays he can produce as another target for Prescott, opposite the All-Pro Lamb. Since he entered the NFL as a second-round pick from Georgia, only Justin Jefferson and A.J. Brown have produced more receptions of at least 25 yards than Pickens (41). Last season, Pickens' 14 catches in that category were topped only by Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase. And Pickens, 24, is clearly elite when it comes to hauling in contested catches. Then there's the reason the home run threat was available in the first place. Too often, Pickens was his own worst enemy with the Steelers, a headache waiting to happen. Being explosive, it seems, is a double-edged sword. There were hotheaded scuffles with opponents. During at least one game, he argued with fans. He was also criticized for lacking professionalism while dodging the media. After Pickens drew two unsportsmanlike conduct flags during a game at Cincinnati with fits of immaturity, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said of the receiver: 'He's got to grow up in a hurry.' Undoubtedly, the Steelers embraced the idea of moving on from Pickens. Hello, Dallas. 'The issues, they don't deter me at all,' Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told USA TODAY Sports in May, shortly after the trade. Dallas sent a third-round pick in 2026 and a fifth-round choice in 2027 to Pittsburgh for Pickens and a sixth-round pick in 2027. 'You get these guys that are really in the right place, that makes a big difference,' Jones said. Jones has a history of taking chances on players who either fell out of favor elsewhere, or carried baggage related to off-the-field issues. Some cases worked out, while others flopped. The former category would include Hall of Famer Charles Haley, who became a key cog in three Super Bowl championship teams after he was obtained in a trade with the San Francisco 49ers in 1992. The latter category would include Adam 'Pacman' Jones and Greg Hardy, whose legal issues didn't end when they joined the Cowboys. 'The biggest issue of all is that I've never met a human that didn't have frailties,' Jones said. 'As a matter of fact, someone once said, 'Jerry might be the most flawed individual I've ever met.' As one flawed person to the other, I look forward to working with George.' Pickens is well aware of the reputation he hopes to leave behind with his fresh start. 'You can push a certain narrative. I know, personally, myself, that I'm not an issue,' Pickens said. 'Now, I'm just following the Cowboys way. They always want to win a Super Bowl. So, I'm on their agenda now.' Time will tell whether Pickens is a good fit for the chemistry of a franchise that is, well, working with a 29-year Super Bowl drought. Since his arrival, coaches, teammates and others connected to the team have raved about Pickens' approach and demeanor. So, that's a great sign. Ferguson, the tight end, recalled a good first impression in meeting Pickens during the draft process in 2022. 'Seeing the locker room, it was right back to normal, right back to chatting it up,' Ferguson said. 'I'm excited to see what he can do. And yeah, he gets on the field and he's explosive. It's just going to open up that many more things.' Pickens won't deny that his demeanor has become more upbeat since the trade. 'Yeah, it's a huge change from the last couple of years,' he said. Then came a swipe at the Steelers. 'It was all a big circus,' he says. 'When I was at the Steelers, the team wasn't as fun.' Stay tuned. While Pickens (who led Pittsburgh with 59 catches for 900 yards in 2024) clearly carries a competitive edge, it will be interesting to see how well he handles a complementary role in a passing game that revolves around Lamb. What's the reaction if Lamb puts up a monster game with, say, 10 catches for 150 yards and two TDs, while Pickens chips in with four receptions and 60 yards? Of course, that's hypothetical. Yet it's fair to wonder whether Pickens, after being the Steelers' undisputed No. 1 receiver, would be fazed by the prospect of not being the top option. 'I accept it as huge,' he maintained. 'I look at it as better. I don't know if other people see that. I can only think for myself, but I look at it as a way for a great chance. Because you have Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins (with the Bengals). You have A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith (with the Eagles). Look around the league. When you've got those two-headed weapons, those are the guys going to the playoffs, close to or in the Super Bowl. I embrace it a lot, honestly. Whether it's 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A. See what I mean? It don't matter.' Mention the X's and O's and Pickens lights up. Clearly this is a man stoked about the designs of an offense that has the fingerprints of new coach Brian Schottenheimer, promoted from coordinator to replace Mike McCarthy. Pickens isn't shy in expressing that he felt stagnated in Arthur Smith's offense with Pittsburgh last season. 'Man, I was super limited,' he said. 'I came out of college running posts, go-balls, comebacks, digs. And then I got to the Steelers and I was only running go-balls. And screens. It was limited from low to high.' He continued grumbling about a lack of intermediate routes in Pittsburgh. 'Now I'm running digs,' he added. 'I ran like three digs today. I ran a comeback on the last play. I didn't run one comeback my whole career with the Steelers. That should show you a lot. And that's just today. Yesterday, I ran three other comebacks. See what I mean?' Pickens is surely heard, loud and clear. Although he insists he was 'kind of surprised' when the trade happened, it was hardly a secret that he wanted out. 'When you see better for yourself … you're going to have to take it,' he said. 'And that's what your family is going to want you to do. So, I kind of felt like it was better somewhere else.' Is Dallas a long-term destination? That's TBD. Pickens is on the final year of his rookie contract, with a base salary of $3.65 million, eligible to become a free agent in March. The Steelers, who added DK Metcalf in an offseason deal, were wise to get something in return for a player they had no interest in signing to a long-term extension. Now that looms as an option for the Cowboys – and incentive for Pickens to prove that he's a good fit in more ways than one. 'I think we're in total agreement,' Jones said. 'Let's see how this year goes and go from there.' In other words, Pickens could explode in Dallas – one way or another.

How Toronto Blue Jays went from ‘punched in the face' to AL East penthouse
All-Star shortstop Bo Bichette has returned to form for Blue Jays, the AL East leaders after a miserable 2024 season. BALTIMORE — A year ago, the Toronto Blue Jays could only dream of days like these. Worse yet, every one of them could look around their clubhouse, assess the talent and wonder why they were stuck in this last-place hellscape, where franchise cornerstones were mentioned as trade candidates and not extendable pieces and the entire course of the franchise was subject to change. 'Everyone, as a whole, got punched in the face last year,' Blue Jays ace Kevin Gausman tells USA TODAY Sports. 'Everybody on the team, really, besides Vladdy, to be honest.' And Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s stellar 2024 did not augur better times ahead but rather more uncertainty. Slated to hit free agency after 2025, Vladdy needed both dollars and details to be convinced to stay, and a spring training extension impasse seemed to extend the buzzard's luck into the new year. Yet something was already going on in the Blue Jays organization, and within the roster. A 74-88 campaign has a way of inspiring attention to detail, rearranging key pieces, of, as Gausman said, buttoning things up a bit. And what has emerged is both beyond that group's wildest imaginations and also what they envisioned could someday be: The best record in the American League heading into the trade deadline, money and prospects to burn, a full-speed-ahead setting well earned. 'The best way I can describe it is just, a great team,' says two-time All-Star shortstop Bo Bichette of the 63-46 Blue Jays, who could still significantly improve in the final two days before the July 31 deadline. 'A great group, a great team, however you want to look at it. 'But this is just the best group and team I've been a part of, for sure.' Bichette is a massive reason for the 180. His 2024 was perhaps the most miserable, limited to 81 games by injury, a .225 average and four home runs and -0.3 WAR dotting his ledger after he was worth 4.8 just a year before. So just how did Bichette search his soul and vow to come back a new man? 'My main goal was just to, like, chill,' he says. OK, there was maybe a little more to it than that. Bo Bichett': 'I owe it to my teammates' Bichette's year-ago misery was largely the result of calf strains that robbed him both of games and any hope for productivity from a compromised lower half. Yet it was a displaced fracture of his middle finger that ended his season and sent him into the off-season with explicit instructions. Due to the fear of infection, Bichette was told he could not break a sweat. He did virtually nothing for six weeks, and didn't initiate anything resembling baseball activity until around mid-January. 'I had a long year last year. And I needed to refresh and honestly grateful, in a way, that I had the finger thing,' he says. 'It made me sit down and relax. I just needed to reset. 'Mentally, I needed every bit of it, I think.' He's certainly showing there's plenty in the tank. A guy who barely played half the games last year is leading the major leagues with 131 hits, has more at-bats than anyone in the AL and has been on a three-week heater. Bichette extended an on-base streak to 21 games July 29 before it was snapped later in the second game of a doubleheader at Baltimore. But what a run: Bichette batted .391 with a 1.040 OPS, 12 doubles, two homers and a run of hits in nine consecutive at-bats. 'We've seen him do this before. You know he can do this,' says Blue Jays manager John Schneider. 'He's a really talented hitter. Man, when he gets locked in, he can beat you in a lot of ways. That's really good for us. "Bo has the ability to get hits. You see guys go on power streaks or on base streaks. To see nine consecutive hits is ridiculous.' Bichette, Guerrero and George Springer have batted better than .400 since the All-Star break, dovetailing nicely with the Blue Jays' rise. They've won 21 of their last 30 and boast the majors' best win percentage since May 8, their 47-26 mark building a four-game lead in the AL East. Bichette has long been joined at the hip with Guerrero, as sons of big leaguers and budding superstars with matching service time. As such, their ability to walk into free agency has been a hot topic since they were barely major leaguers. Guerrero put the pressure on the Blue Jays, walking away from extension talks before the club came back with a 14-year, $500 million offer that made Vladdy a Jay for life. 'I think Toronto has been begging for their own, in any sport,' says Bichette. 'For that kind of player to stay and want to be part of the city, I know that was something he wanted as well. It's great for both sides.' As for Bichette, his injury-plagued fifth season scotched any thoughts of an extension, for either side. Now, Bichette is nicely reestablishing his value. Guerrero is set in stone at first base. The franchise has money to burn. And Bichette will have interesting options come free agency. When that time comes. 'That's the cliché answer,' he acknowledges, 'but with how the team's playing and the vibe in the clubhouse and everything, I owe it to my teammates to be that way.' And he could have some new ones to welcome very soon. 'Nice to be on the flip side' for Blue Jays When Seranthony Dominguez made the not-so-long walk down the Camden Yards hallway from the home clubhouse to the Blue Jays' visiting digs, it was a fun baseball oddity – guy traded between games of a doubleheader pitting the two teams – but was drenched in a greater symbolism for Toronto. They were in Baltimore this time last year, but instead of eagerly awaiting arrivals, they were saying goodbye. Top starter Yusei Kikuchi, to Houston. Veteran bulwark Justin Turner, to Seattle. Upbeat center fielder Kevin Kiermaier, off to win a ring with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Dominguez's arrival created a little awkwardness, but that was more than outweighed by the undeniable siren that the Blue Jays will make more hay the next two days. 'It's great. Ross and the guys have shown they're going to be aggressive when we're in contention, which is awesome,' says Schneider. 'We love that support. We've been playing really well. 'The tricky part is, people don't understand the roller coaster that goes into these couple days. There's some moving parts and you still have to go out and focus on the game.' To that point, they've dropped four consecutive games, yet retain a 95% chance to make the playoffs, and 61% to win the division, per FanGraphs. Once they get there, a team that makes consistent contact – their 16.4% K rate since May is the best in the majors – catches the ball and has a solid front end of a rotation in Gausman, Jose Berrios and the surprising Eric Lauer could make hay. To say nothing of more reinforcements. It's all a little stunning, given the time and place and the grim reality that seems not so long ago, yet for Toronto, slips further in the past with every week. 'It's nice,' says Schneider, 'to be on the flip side of last year for sure.'

How to watch the Wyndham Championship: Tee times, picks, odds before FedEx Cup playoffs start
The PGA Tour's regular season closes with the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C. It is the last stop before the FedEx Cup cutoff trims the field to 70 for next week's St. Jude Championship, making every birdie a playoff lifeline. ESPN+ will have coverage of featured groups and holes. CBS coverage can also be streamed on Paramount+. Sedgefield's Donald Ross design is short on paper, long on nuance. At 7,131 yards and a par 70, its dogleg fairways funnel toward perched Bermuda greens; wedges that arrive without exact spin skid into collection areas and leave bombers counting wasted yardage instead of strokes. The bubble watch frames the week. Matti Schmid holds 70th place, Nicolai Højgaard sits one spot outside and Joel Dahmen is scrambling from 101st. A top‑five finish can vault a player 30 spots; a missed cut can end a season. Billy Horschel showed the escape route in 2023, shooting 16 under par to finish fourth after a Saturday 63 and rescuing his status despite missing the playoffs. Momentum matters. Aaron Rai arrived 53rd in points last year, shot 65‑65‑68‑64 to win at 18 under, and rocketed to 25th. Ryo Hisatsune's T‑3 on the same leaderboard jumped him 23 spots. One week can still rewrite a season. Local favorite Webb Simpson, whose daughter shares the tournament's name, treats the week like a hometown reunion and often plays above form on this turf. Advertisement You can go low here, but only if the playoff pressure doesn't clamp your grip. The field averaged 68.95 in 2024, about a stroke under par. Expect similar this week unless Carolina storms barge in. By Sunday night, only 70 cards will punch through. Everyone else reboots in January. The complete list of tee times can be found here. Courtesy of The Athletic's sports betting editor Vik Chokshi: My outright bets are usually based on a couple of models I follow, and I take into account course history and form. I also love betting on long shots, so you'll usually see a bunch of golfers in the +2000 or longer range on my card every week.
