One of the top wide receivers in the NFL is shutting it down for the rest of the season. The Dallas Cowboys have announced that star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will be out for the team’s final two games of the year.
On Saturday, the Cowboys made the move official by placing Lamb on injured reserve.
The team put out the following statement Thursday about the decision:
“Additional examinations and scans this week on CeeDee Lamb’s shoulder have determined that his injury has now progressed to a point that he will be listed as ‘Out’ for the remaining two games of the season.
Lamb had been dealing with an AC joint injury in his shoulder since Dallas’ Week 9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He did not practice Wednesday before the Cowboys’ Week 17 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Lamb had played well through the injury, especially in the last two weeks. The Cowboys’ leading receiver had 314 yards and two touchdowns in the last three games.
The Cowboys were eliminated from the playoffs before their Week 16 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on “Sunday Night Football.” They close out the regular season on the road against the Eagles in Week 17 and at home against the Washington Commanders in Week 18.
