Report: Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb out with concussion

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is out for Thursday’s game against Las Vegas with a concussion, NFL Network reported.

Lamb suffered the injury last Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs and had been in the concussion protocol. The Cowboys put forth an optimistic outlook during the week that Lamb would be able to play.

The second-year player missed practice Monday and Tuesday and was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Lamb, 22, was injured late in the first half of the Cowboys’ 19-9 loss to the Chiefs on a jump ball in the end zone. Lamb had three catches for 14 yards. The 2020 first-round pick has 50 catches for 740 yards and six touchdowns on the season.

The Cowboys (7-3) also are facing the Raiders (5-5) without starting wideout Amari Cooper, who remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The unvaccinated Cooper tested positive last week and has to quarantine a mandatory 10 days.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (concussion) returns to practice

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb practiced Wednesday for the first time since sustaining a concussion in Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The second-year wideout still must be cleared by an independent neurologist before taking the field in Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day game against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders.

“I don’t know if we’ll have that finalized here or if it will be tomorrow. I can’t get you the exact timeline. … He hasn’t missed a step on a short week. Just as we discussed on Monday, if he’s able to keep progressing through, we see him as available for the game,” head coach Mike McCarthy said, per WFAA TV.

Lamb, 22, was injured late in the first half of the Cowboys’ 19-9 loss to the Chiefs on a jump ball in the end zone. Lamb had three catches for 14 yards. The 2020 first-round pick has 50 catches for 740 yards and six touchdowns on the season.

The Cowboys (7-3) are already facing the Raiders (5-5) without starting wideout Amari Cooper, who remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The unvaccinated Cooper tested positive last week and has to quarantine a mandatory 10 days.

Dallas WR CeeDee Lamb (concussion) iffy to play Thursday

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Dallas Cowboys expect All-Pro offensive tackle Tyron Smith to return on Thanksgiving but the status of star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is up in the air.

Lamb is in the concussion protocol after leaving Sunday’s game in Kansas City with a head injury. NFL Network reported it’s unlikely Lamb can clear protocol by Thursday, but Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones was more optimistic.

“He’ll start his protocol right away,” Jones told Dallas station 105.3 The Fan on Monday. “Then, he’s doing really well. So, he’ll have an opportunity to play. If he were having issues today, then you’d probably be a little leery, but the fact that so far he’s doing well. But he’ll have to go through testing. So, we won’t really know that until Thursday.”

Lamb was injured late in the first half of the Cowboys’ 19-9 loss to the Chiefs on a jump ball in the end zone. Lamb had three catches for 14 yards. The 2020 first-round pick has 50 catches for 740 yards and six touchdowns on the season.

The Cowboys are already without perennial Pro Bowl WR Amari Cooper, who landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list last Friday. The unvaccinated Cooper tested positive and has to quarantine a mandatory 10 days.

“That’s my teammate, that’s my brother, we’re going to support him. That’s his decision,” quarterback Dak Prescott said of Cooper after Sunday’s loss. “Unfortunate we’re not having him, but I know he’ll come back and be beneficial for us in the late part of the season.”

Smith has missed the past three games with an ankle injury. The seven-time Pro Bowl selection has started all 140 games played during his 11 NFL seasons.

The Cowboys (7-3) host the Las Vegas Raiders (5-5) on Thursday in Arlington, Texas.
