After the Dallas Cowboys’ latest outing, which ended in a loss to the Lions, alarms went off over the missed opportunity to close the gap with the Eagles. From now on, both Dak Prescott and Brian Schottenheimer know they can’t afford to lose any more ground in this stretch of the NFL season.
On the immediate horizon are the Minnesota Vikings, who will face the Cowboys in a high-stakes Sunday Night Football matchup at AT&T Stadium. The good news for Prescott and company is that CeeDee Lamb is making favorable progress from his concussion, raising hopes for his return.
Insider Jon Machota, via his X account, revealed the significant injury update provided by Schottenheimer regarding the wide receiver’s status: according to the HC, Lamb is “doing good. Progressing nicely.”
The incident involving Lamb, which forced him to leave the field, occurred just minutes into the third quarter. Up to that point, the wide receiver had recorded a total of six catches for 121 yards.
