George Pickens has arrived.

The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver has turned into a superstar with his new team. Before playing with the Cowboys, Pickens spent several seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He wound up being traded to Dallas in the offseason and is now playing with quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.

Pickens headlines one of the best offenses in the NFL. They're getting ready to play the Kansas City Chiefs, being tested by a talented defense in the AFC.

Ahead of the matchup between the Cowboys and Chiefs on Thanksgiving day, set to face on Thursday at 4:30 p.m. ET, Pickens was dealing with a knee and calf injury.

On Wednesday, the Cowboys announced that Pickens was a full participant, meaning he'll be in line to play against the Chiefs.
