A year ago, CeeDee Lamb suffered a shoulder injury after a collision with Dru Phillips. The Dallas Cowboys receiver remembers that moment perfectly, and has now warned the Giants cornerback ahead of their Week 2 matchup.

In Week 9 of the 2024 NFL season, Lamb took a hit that caused a shoulder injury. The issue worsened a few weeks later when CB Dru Phillips collided with him again, aggravating the problem.

Lamb was ruled out for the remainder of the season due to an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. Now, both players will meet again in Week 2, and the wide receiver wants payback for that hit.

Lamb has been Dak Prescott’s favorite target since his arrival in Dallas. He’ll face a solid Giants defense once again, but what happened with Phillips could push him to unleash an even higher level of play.
