Lamb (shoulder) practiced in full Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Lamb has been tending to an AC joint injury in his shoulder since Week 9, which resulted in a cap on his reps to begin Week 16 prep. However, he got back to full participation Thursday, clearing him to take on the Buccaneers on Sunday. Lamb has a nice on-paper matchup against a Tampa Bay defense that has conceded the third-most catches (192) to opposing wide receivers in 14 games this season.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Listed as limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Lamb (shoulder) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Lamb continues to operate with a cap on his practice reps, as he's done most weeks since initially suffering an AC joint injury in his shoulder back in Week 9. In six games in the meantime, he's produced a 41-429-2 line on 60 targets. Lamb will have two more opportunities this week to practice fully or otherwise risk taking a designation into Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Still tending to shoulder issue
Rotowire
Lamb was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury.
An AC joint injury in Lamb's shoulder has flared up from time to time since he got hurt Week 9 in Atlanta. He's suited up in each of the Cowboys' five games in the meantime -- all with Cooper Rush under center -- and has racked up 32 catches (on 47 targets) for 313 yards and one touchdown and four carries for 18 more yards. Lamb may need to practice in full Thursday and/or Friday to head into Sunday's contest at Carolina without an injury designation.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Productive in Week 14 loss
Rotowire
Lamb brought in six of seven targets for 93 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for one yard in the Cowboys' 27-20 loss to the Bengals on Monday night.
Lamb paced the Cowboys in receptions, receiving yards and targets while also recording an 11-yard touchdown grab on fourth down in the first quarter. The star wideout continued to display solid chemistry with Cooper Rush, and Monday night's yardage total tied for Lamb's highest since Rush officially took over starting quarterback duties for Dak Prescott (IR, hamstring) in Week 10. Lamb heads into a favorable Week 15 road matchup against the Panthers with at least six catches in seven of the last eight contests, as well as double-digit targets on five occasions in that span.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: All set for Monday
Rotowire
Lamb (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's contest against the Bengals, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Lamb was confident earlier this week that he'd be able to play in the primetime matchup, and he's now poised to enter an incredibly enticing fantasy position as the primary focal point for an offense that likely will need to move the ball through the air. The All-Pro wideout has gutted through a difficult shoulder injury since Week 9 and has failed to play more than 83 percent of the snaps in all but one of the last four games as a result, but he's effectively in must-play territory regardless given how porous Cincinnati's defense has been against the pass all season.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Anticipates playing Monday
Rotowire
Lamb (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice but expects to play Monday night against the Bengals, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Lamb is tending to a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder, an injury he sustained in the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day win over the Giants and played a part in him handling a season-low 67 percent snap share. He had first injured the shoulder in a Nov. 3 loss to the Falcons, but the apparent aggravation isn't quite as severe, as Lamb said Thursday that he has full range of motion in the shoulder and has regained strength over the past week. He'll have two more opportunities Friday and Saturday to increase his practice activity and clear up any concerns about his availability for Monday's contest.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Set for limited practice
Rotowire
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that Lamb will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Despite benefiting from a longer turnaround for this Monday's game against the Bengals after the Cowboys hosted the Giants on Thanksgiving Day in Week 13, Lamb's shoulder is still bothering him, according to McCarthy. The coach didn't suggest that Lamb's status for Monday's game was in any danger, but the Cowboys will take it easy on the star wideout to begin Week 14 prep by managing his reps. So long as Lamb is able to put in a full practice by Saturday, he should be on track to handle his typical allotment of snaps against the Bengals.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Early optimism for Week 14 status
Rotowire
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Friday that Lamb (shoulder) will benefit from extra rest time between games and should be ready for Week 14 against the Bengals on Mon., Dec. 9, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
After suffering an AC joint injury at the beginning of November, the wideout injured/aggravated his same right shoulder in the third quarter of Thursday's win over the Giants. He didn't play any snaps in the fourth quarter but may avoid additional missed time, benefitting from a 10-day gap between games. Lamb has yet to miss a game this season despite being listed on injury reports throughout November due to his shoulder/back/foot.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Quiet in win
Rotowire
Lamb recorded two receptions on six targets for 39 yards in Thursday's 27-20 win over the Giants.
Several factors came together to result in a disappointing day for Lamb. He uncharacteristically dropped a few of his opportunities early in the game, and he then appeared to suffer an upper-body injury that limited him across the second-half of the contest. The team didn't provide any official update or give Lamb an injury designation, though his practice status will be worth monitoring heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Bengals.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Listed as limited Monday
Rotowire
Lamb (back/foot) was limited at Monday's walkthrough, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
For a second week in a row, Lamb is tending to back and foot injuries, resulting in some practice limitations. With the Cowboys operating on a short week ahead of Thursday's game against the Giants, he may not get much on-field work, but he was able to suit up for Sunday's win at Washington, where he hauled in 10 of 12 targets for 67 yards. In three contests with Cooper Rush under center, Lamb has a cumulative 24-181-0 line on 34 targets. Wednesday's practice report will reveal whether or not Lamb has a designation for Week 13 action.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Busy day in wild win
Rotowire
Lamb brought in 10 of 12 targets for 67 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Cowboys' 34-26 win over the Commanders on Sunday.
Lamb led the Cowboys in receptions, receiving yards and targets on a day when he was atypically contained to mostly short-area targets. The talented wideout still clawed his way to a fantasy-relevant effort while once again displaying plenty of chemistry with fill-in quarterback Cooper Rush, and the duo has now connected on 18 occasions for 160 yards on 24 pass attempts over the last two games. Lamb projects to remain heavily involved in a Week 13 home matchup against the Giants on Thanksgiving Day.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Lamb (back/foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Washington, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Dallas beat writers downplayed Lamb's absence from practice Thursday and apparently had the right of it. He returned Friday as a full participant and should be ready for his usual workload this Sunday at Washington, catching passes from QB Cooper Rush against a pass defense that's been surprisingly strong since the first few weeks of the season.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Tending to pair of injuries
Rotowire
Lamb was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice due to back and foot injuries.
Lamb showed up as a limited participant due to a back issue on the Cowboys' final Week 11 practice report and was listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Texans. Ultimately, he was able to suit up and logged 66 of 83 offensive snaps (80 percent) on his way to a typical eight catches (on 12 targets) for 93 yards. The performance was a stark contrast to the 6-21-0 receiving line on 10 targets that Lamb posted in his first full outing with Cooper Rush under center for Dak Prescott (hamstring) in Week 10. Two days removed from the most recent contest, Lamb now is dealing with a new health concern in addition to the back issue, meaning his status will be one to watch as the week continues.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Valiant effort in defeat
Rotowire
Lamb (back) corralled eight of 12 targets for 93 yards while adding 13 rushing yards off of one attempt in Monday's blowout loss to the Texans.
The Cowboys were overwhelmed in an interstate battle on Monday Night Football, but Lamb -- who was questionable with a back injury coming into this contest -- put his pads on and carried the offense to a competitive first half. The prototypical WR1 looked the part when he gained 106 total yards on nine touches with little help surrounding him on the roster. This is a textbook example of why you stick with your star players until forced to do otherwise. With double-digit targets over his last five games, Lamb should continue to be peppered with passes as the Cowboys prepare to face a pair of division opponents. First up is a road tilt against the Commanders next Sunday before returning to Dallas to face the Giants on Thanksgiving afternoon in Week 13.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Still in line to play Monday
Rotowire
Lamb (back) remains listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Texans, but "everything right now is pointing for him to play," a team source tells Jane Slater of NFL Network.
Dallas may put Lamb through a pregame workout before providing official word on his status when the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but the star receiver looks like he'll be ready to play through the back spasm that limited him Saturday in the Cowboys' final Week 11 practice. Assuming he's cleared to play, Lamb will be working with quarterback Cooper Rush for the second straight game with Dak Prescott (hamstring) lost for the season. Though he continued to see heavy volume (10 targets) from Rush in the Cowboys' Week 10 loss to the Eagles, Lamb's efficiency left much to be desired (six catches for 21 yards) and could be a hindrance to his fantasy prospects moving forward.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Tracking toward playing Monday
Rotowire
Lamb (back) remains listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Texans, but he appears likely to play, barring a setback while warming up for the contest, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The star wideout didn't appear on the Cowboys' Week 11 injury report until Saturday, when he was listed as a limited participant in practice due to what Pelissero describes as a back spasm. Pelissero adds that Lamb was back in the Cowboys' facility early Sunday to receive further treatment, with the wideout seemingly showing enough improvement with the injury for the team to feel optimistic about his chances of playing Monday. Though his rest-of-season fantasy outlook has taken a hit with Cooper Rush taking over at quarterback for the injured Dak Prescott (hamstring), Lamb still looks like a must-start option in lineups due to the heavy volume he'll continue to draw in the passing game, albeit with lower efficiency.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Lamb (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.
Lamb played through the pain this past Sunday in Atlanta and eventually was diagnosed with an AC joint injury in his right shoulder following an MRI. He's considered week-to-week, but the Cowboys have some optimism that he'll miss no game action as a result of the injury. With a light practice under his belt so far this week, Lamb at least has put himself in a position to do just that, and his status will continue to be monitored to get a sense of his potential to play Sunday versus the Eagles.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Optimism for Week 10
Rotowire
Lamb (shoulder) is considered week-to-week, but there is optimism he'll be able to play next Sunday against the Eagles, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Lamb is believed to be dealing with an AC joint injury in his shoulder, which he suffered in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Falcons. He was able to return to the game after briefly exiting, so perhaps he can continue to play through the issue if it's more of a pain tolerance thing. If he's able to suit up against Philadelphia, Lamb is expected to be catching passes from a different quarterback, with Dak Prescott (hamstring) likely out several weeks, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Lamb's fantasy stock thus takes a slight hit, but he still should dominate targets in Dallas' passing attack and will remain a matchup-agnostic WR1.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: MRI scheduled on shoulder
Rotowire
Lamb is dealing with an AC joint injury in his right shoulder following Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Falcons, and he's scheduled to get an MRI on the injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed optimism that Lamb will be able to play through the injury, as Lamb returned against Atlanta after initially hurting his shoulder. Lamb finished the game with eight catches for 47 yards on 12 targets while adding two rushing attempts for 15 yards and catching a two-point conversion. The results of Lamb's MRI will determine whether he's in danger of sitting out against the Eagles in Week 10. Dallas' quarterback situation is also uncertain, as Dak Prescott (hamstring) is scheduled to get an MRI on his injury.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Exits game with shoulder issue

Lamb exited Sunday's game against the Falcons with a shoulder injury, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Prior to that, Lamb had caught eight of his 12 targets for 47 yards and carried twice for 15 yards. In his absence, QB Cooper Rush -- who is in for Dak Prescott (hamstring) - has WRs Jalen Tolbert, Jalen Brooks, KaVontae Turpin and Ryan Flournoy to throw to.
