Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (back) active vs. Texans Monday night

On November 19, 2024By Littum

Lamb suffered a setback in Saturday’s practice and was a limited participant due to a back injury. He drew a questionable designation for Monday’s tilt.

“He had something that showed up in a 7-on-7 drill,” Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Saturday of Lamb’s availability on Monday. “We’ll look at him (on Sunday) but I’m not too worried.”

The concern is now gone, and Lamb will play his second game of the season with starting quarterback Cooper Rush since Dak Prescott is out for the rest of the season.

The Cowboys have dealt with the injury bug quite a bit this campaign. In addition to Prescott and others, pass rusher Micah Parsons missed four games with an ankle injury, while Demarcus Lawrence is on injured reserve with a foot problem.

In nine games, Lamb has 59 receptions for 681 yards and four touchdowns.

The Cowboys (3-6) host the Texans (6-4) at 8:15 PM ET Monday at AT&T Stadium.
