CD Lamb Injuries
The recent injury news regarding CD Lamb has thrown up a number of questions about the NFL player’s availability for Week 14 against the New York Jets. Initially, the injury was thought to be a small toe cut, but more reports of stitches have since trickled in. According to multiple sources, the player was a full participant in practice, but his status is still questionable.
Impact Lamb is a full participant in practice
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Josh Lamb is a full participant in practice Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday. The wide receiver was considered questionable for Week 6 action, but is likely to play against the Lions. Lamb has received five of 10 targets for 68 yards and has run twice for nine yards. The Cowboys may also need Josh Lamb to fill in for Dak Prescott, who is expected to return from his five-game absence.
Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was not listed on the injury report Wednesday, but he was listed as a limited participant for Thursday’s practice due to a groin injury. Though he was not a full participant in practice, he told reporters he felt fine and did not practice due to high GPS numbers. Though Lamb has been limited throughout the season, the Cowboys are confident that he will be ready for Week 9 against the Eagles.
CeeDee Lamb is questionable
CeeDee Lamb’s injury is doubtful, but not life-threatening. The former Washington Redskins wide receiver has been sidelined for three preseason games due to a foot injury. Lamb had missed a June minicamp due to a hamstring injury, and he missed Wednesday’s practice with a foot laceration. Though not serious, Lamb’s injury could limit his fantasy production. Last season, he ranked 37th among WRs in target share, and he had the 10th-best receiving grade among wideouts.
Lamb was not in the same position last season, but he’s still a productive wide receiver. His rookie season saw him gain almost 1,000 yards and five touchdowns. In 2021, he topped that mark with 1,102 yards and six touchdowns. Unfortunately, the Cowboys are facing a huge problem at WR. Defensively, they’re without Dak Prescott and are using a third-string quarterback.
Tony Pollard is questionable
Cowboys running back Tony Pollard is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Rams. The Cowboys have been struggling in the run game, with Ezekiel Elliott dealing with a knee injury. That has left a large role for Pollard. However, Pollard has been hampered by a foot injury. Pollard missed practice on Wednesday because of a plantar fascia injury. With his injury, the Cowboys could be without their RB1 for multiple games.
Dallas has already ruled out starting quarterback Dak Prescott for Week 5, which means Cooper Rush will start in his place. It’s a bad day to appear on the injury report for any player, as it means the injury is recent and the player has little time to recover. On Friday, the Cowboys added backup running back Tony Pollard to their injury report. Pollard has been dealing with an illness.
Jayron Kearse is a full participant in practice
Jayron Kearse, who suffered an MCL sprain in his left knee against the Buccaneers in Week 1, is on the road to recovery. The Dallas Cowboys’ head coach said on Wednesday that the safety is “making strides.” However, he won’t be available for Week 2 against the Bengals. The team is expecting him to be ready in two to four weeks.
With Kearse back in the lineup, the Cowboys won’t be short on defensive line depth. The team has several depth options at the safety position. The team has veteran Donovan Wilson and versatile backup lineman Ty Nsekhe on its roster. Donovan Wilson, the Cowboys’ 2020 second-round pick, has played for six teams, including the Buccaneers. Donovan Wilson was the Cowboys’ starting center in Week 1 against Tampa Bay. Jayron Kearse will start in the absence of Donovan Wilson.
Jayron Kearse has a hip injury
The Cowboys have a big question regarding their wide receiver position. While Kearse was limited in practice last week, it looks like he is close to returning to the starting lineup. The former first-round pick was a full participant in Thursday’s practice and is expected to return to action this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Despite this setback, the safety unit looks to be more experienced than it has been in several years. Noah Brown was also a full participant in Thursday’s practice.
Jayron Kearse is still questionable, but the Dallas Cowboys are also missing CeeDee Lamb and Tony Pollard. Both players were listed as questionable for this week’s game against the Rams. Lamb was unable to practice last week because of a foot injury, but was expected to be fully active today.
