NFL Bans CeeDee Lamb's Celebration for 2025

CeeDee Lamb, the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver, will need to change his signature 'nose wipe' celebration after a new NFL rule banned such gestures, classifying them as 'violent' and subject to a 15-yard penalty. This change is part of broader restrictions on gestures deemed inappropriate or gang-related, as outlined in the NFL's rules report sent to teams. Lamb, who has expressed his displeasure on social media, will have to find alternative ways to celebrate his on-field achievements. Meanwhile, his teammate, quarterback Dak Prescott, is already preparing for a better season after a disappointing 7-10 finish last year, following his recent hamstring surgery. Prescott's rigorous offseason routine aims to ensure full fitness and improved performance in the upcoming 2025 season. The Cowboys are focusing on a potential bounce-back year with Prescott's leadership and Lamb's offensive prowess, albeit with a new celebration style.
