Is CeeDee Lamb playing today? Injury news update for Cowboys wide receiver

The Dallas Cowboys return to action on Sunday night hoping they have something to play for. After winning their third game in four tries last week, Dallas has moved closer to .500 and will look to improve to 7-8 with a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The stunted, faltering squad currently still has a chance to make the playoffs, but that ends with any loss in their last three games or any win by Washington. The Commanders take on NFC East leader Philadelphia in the early game window. If the Eagles win, the Cowboys game still matters in this pursuit.

To pull off a win in the NBC-televised contest, Dallas needs their No. 1 recipient, CeeDee Lamb.

Fortunately for Dallas, Lamb’s limited status from Wednesday’s practice due to his lingering shoulder injury seems prudent. Lamb fully participated on Thursday, and Friday’s work confirms that things haven’t gotten any worse and the ailment doesn’t appear to be preventing him from suiting up. He should play as long as nothing wild happens during pregame warmups.

The fifth-year wideout enters Week 16 tied for third in the NFL in receptions with 94, already surpassing the millennium yardage mark with 1,089. Cincinnati’s Ja’Marr Chase has already run away with Lamb’s 2023 receiving yardage crown, with the Cowboys’ passing game missing Dak Prescott for the majority of the season. Perhaps Lamb will catch passes from both Cooper Rush and Trey Lance in this contest.
