CeeDee Lamb injury update: Dallas Cowboys WR out for remainder of season

The Dallas Cowboys have dominated star WR Ceedee lamb for the remainder of the season, per release.

Dallas decided to rest Lamb after further scans were performed on his shoulder. Doctors have determined that his injury “has now progressed to the point where he will be listed as ‘out’ for the remaining two games of the season.”

According to the press release, Lamb’s injury is not expected to require surgery.

The star wide receiver was one of the most important constants for the Dallas Cowboys offense in the 2024 season. Despite the team already being eliminated from the postseason, he was one of the best before his injury forced him to miss the final two weeks of the year.

Lamb caught 101 passes (tied for second in the NFL) for 1,194 yards (third-best) and six touchdowns in 15 appearances in 2024.

It was good for his fourth straight 1,000-yard season, but his least productive since 2021. The next two weeks will also mark the first time Lamb has missed a single game for the Cowboys in his five-year career.

He was the go-to guy for QB Cooper Rushwho stepped in for the injured Dak Prescott on the track this season. The Cowboys’ second-best receiver is Jalen Tolbertwho has 482 receiving yards this season but just as many touchdowns as Lamb.

Lamb was also the Cowboys’ third-leading rusher at the time of his closure, completing 14 carries for 70 yards during the 2024 season.

Looking forward, the Cowboys still have a chance to play for a winning record this season. At 7-8 overall, winning games against the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders is easier said than done, but the chance remains.

First up is the road trip to Philadelphia, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. The Eagles enter the NFC East matchup as a 7-point betting favorite.
