Cowboys Place WR CeeDee Lamb on Injured Reserve
The Dallas Cowboys have officially placed star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb on injured reserve, ruling him out for the team’s final two games of the season. Lamb is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, but NFL Network’s Jane Slater reports that surgery is not required for the injury.
With Lamb sidelined, the Cowboys will rely on a mix of receivers to step up in his absence. The team’s wide receiver corps for Week 17 will include Brandin Cooks, Jalen Tolbert (who is dealing with a finger injury), Jalen Brooks (knee), KaVontae Turpin, Ryan Flournoy, and rookie Jonathan Mingo.
The Cowboys are aiming to close out the regular season strong, but Lamb’s absence leaves a significant void in their high-powered offense. While the team is hopeful for a playoff run, they will need to adapt to the loss of their top target over the final stretch of the year.
