The Dallas Cowboys had an entire laundry list of injured players throughout the week of practice, in preparation for their Monday night matchup with the Houston Texans. Over 1/3rd of their roster appeared on the practice report from Thursday, the first day of the week when MNF participants are forced to reveal the statuses of their players for the upcoming contest.
But it was one injury that appeared, somewhat out of nowhere, on the final practice day that is going to wreak the most havoc on the team’s plans to stop a four-game losing streak. Wideout CeeDee Lamb appeared with a back injury. Lamb has been listed as questionable for the week.
After dealing with a shoulder the week before, Lamb is doing his best to be the solid solider and example setter for the younger ones on the roster.
For what it’s worth, head coach Mike McCarthy minimized the impact of the injury on Saturday, saying he’s optimistic the star wideout will play.
With no Dak Prescott under center, the Cowboys are going to rely heavily on Lamb to be the best player on the field when the offense has the ball. He had a team-high six catches last week, but for a measly 21 yards in the club’s first game without Prescott.
Lamb has played the Texans just once before, in 2022, when he caught five balls for 33 yards.
