"Let them be corny": Mike Tomlin's son Dino sounds off as fans question about Steelers HC trading away George Pickens

The Steelers sent George Pickens and a 2027 sixth-round pick to the Cowboys in May for a 2026 third-round and a 2027 fifth-round selection. The team described the move as a “fresh start for both sides.” However, coaches and insiders suggested that the decision may have been made by Mike Tomlin.

A fan shared a screenshot of the comment section of Dino Tomlin's, the Pittsburgh coach's son, TikTok account on X on Wednesday.

"I’m crying bro 😭😭 I just asked a simple question to Tomlin’s son. No answer," the fan tweeted.

The fan asked Dino his thoughts on "your dad trading the best WR in the NFL for a third-round pick?"

He did not directly answer the question. Dino instead liked another user's comment saying, "buddy he's not talkin football at all" and replied to it.

"Let them be corny… peep my other vids there’s a war! You’re on outside," Dino wrote.

Pickens, a second-round pick in 2022, has posted over 2,800 yards and 12 scores over three seasons with the Stellers. He is known for his playmaking, but also for concerns regarding his off-field and on-field maturity.

Meanwhile, Pittsburgh acquired D.K. Metcalf in the offseason, raising the question of whether Pickens became expendable.

George Pickens cleared to play as Cowboys prepare for Lions on Thursday

The Cowboys will have their top wide receiver available for Thursday's matchup against the Lions, as George Pickens has been removed from the injury report. Pickens, who dealt with calf and knee issues, was limited in practice on Monday but upgraded to full participation on Tuesday and Wednesday.

He has been Dallas’ most productive receiver this season with 73 receptions for 1,142 yards and eight touchdowns.

Several other key Cowboys players received clarity on their statuses. Cornerback Trevon Diggs, limited all week while recovering from a knee injury, will not play. Offensive tackle Tyler Guyton was also ruled out after missing every practice session.

Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (hamstring) and safety Malik Hooker (back) are listed as questionable, with both participating in a limited capacity on Wednesday.

Multiple players were cleared after appearing on earlier injury reports, including offensive tackle Hakeem Adeniji and cornerbacks DaRon Bland and Caelen Carson. Defensive ends Dante Fowler and James Houston, defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa, receiver KaVontae Turpin and safety Donovan Wilson were also cleared.
