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

The Dallas Cowboys have ruled star WR Ceedee Lamb for the rest of the season, per release.

Dallas’ decision to rest Lamb comes after additional scans were made on his shoulder, doctors have determines that his injury “has now progressed to a point that he will be listed as ‘out’ for the remaining two games of the season.”

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

The star wide receiver was one of the main constants for the Dallas Cowboys’ offense during the 2024 season. Despite the team already being eliminated from the postseason, he’s been one of the very best before his injury will force him to miss the last two weeks of the year.

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

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

He’s been the go-to guy for QB Cooper Rush, who filled in for the injured Dak Prescott down the stretch this season. The Cowboys’ second-leading receiver is Jalen Tolbert, who has 482 receiving yards this season, but just as many touchdowns as Lamb.

Lamb also finished as the Cowboys’ third-leading rusher at the time he was shut down, taking 14 carries for 70 yards during the 2024 season.

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

First up will be the road trip to Philadelphia, set for Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. The Eagles are 7-point betting favorites heading into the NFC East matchup.
