The Dallas Cowboys have already lost one of its top offensive players for the season in Dak Prescott. They might have lost another of their top talents to an injury on Thanksgiving against the New York Giants.

Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was hurt on a play midway through the third quarter during which he was tackled by Giants defensive back Dru Phillips.

Lamb remained down after the play, which resulted in a pass interference call, and was clutching his shoulder. He left the field under his own power and returned to action one play later.

However, Lamb trotted back off the field after the play and removed his helmet. He didn’t play the remainder of the drive but stayed on the sidelines without his helmet.

CeeDee Lamb injury update

The Cowboys didn’t provide an update about Lamb’s status after he left the game. He did not return to action after the drive on which he was injured despite the Giants cutting Dallas’ lead to seven points before the final drive of regulation.

Fox Sports’ Erin Andrews reported that the Cowboys did not have an official injury update on Lamb. She also noted that the veteran receiver had been nursing an AC joint injury in his shoulder during the 2024 NFL season. Andrews couldn’t confirm whether that malady was what was holding Lamb out of the game.

After the game, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked about Lamb’s status. The 82-year-old said that Lamb was ‘probably nicked.’

‘I don’t know the extent of his injury,’ Jones said, per the Texas Lone Star. ‘But I’m sure [he] was limited because of what appeared to be a physical limitation.’

The Cowboys didn’t provide any other updates on Lamb, but he was seen grimacing while jogging in street clothes after the game.

Lamb recorded two catches for 39 yards on six targets before leaving the game.

Cowboys WR depth chart: Who is CeeDee Lamb’s backup?

Below is a look at Dallas’ wide receiver depth chart for Sunday’s game against the Giants:

CeeDee Lamb
Brandin Cooks
Jalen Tolbert
Jalen Brooks
KaVontae Turpin
Jonathan Mingo

Turpin and Mingo may be lower on the depth chart, but they have both seen their roles in Dallas’ offense increase in recent weeks.

The team also has a seventh receiver, Ryan Flournoy, on its depth chart and inactive for Thursday’s game. If Lamb has to miss time beyond Thanksgiving, Flournoy would likely replace him on the team’s game-day roster.
