CeeDee Lamb Out for Season with AC Joint Injury

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will miss the final two games of the 2024 season due to a shoulder injury sustained in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. Despite playing through the injury and achieving impressive stats with 101 receptions, 1,194 yards, and six touchdowns, additional exams revealed the injury worsened, necessitating rest and rehabilitation. The Cowboys, already eliminated from playoff contention, announced that Lamb is not expected to require surgery and is projected to make a full recovery. The team made this decision as part of a cautious approach, particularly after losing quarterback Dak Prescott earlier in the season. Lamb, a crucial player for the Cowboys and the second-highest paid receiver in the NFL, signed a four-year, $136 million contract extension in August 2024.
