He wasn’t able to come down with it and turned in the air. Lamb landed hard on his left wrist, elbow and arm. He stayed down on the ground after the play, and trainers came out to look at him. Lamb left the field and initially went into the medical tent before heading to the locker room. He was subsequently ruled out. Here is more on Lamb’s injury in Week 14 against the Lions. MORE WEEK 14 NFL:NFL power rankings for Week 14NFL Week 14 picks, predictionsNFL Week 14 picks against the spreadCeeDee Lamb injury updateLamb has been ruled out for the remainder of the game due to a concussion.

The “Thursday Night Football” broadcast showed him standing outside of it and favoring his elbow. It turns out that that wasn’t his injury, and he was being checked for a concussion.CeeDee Lamb statsWeek 14 vs. LionsTargets: 8Receptions: 6Yards: 121TDs: 02025 statsTargets: 89Receptions: 57Yards: 865TDs: 3Cowboys WR depth chartPositionPlayer Name1CeeDee Lamb — OUT2George Pickens3Ryan Flournoy4KaVontae Turpin5Jonathan Mingo6Jalen Tolbert — OUTThe only good news for the Cowboys about Lamb being ruled out is that, statistically, he isn’t their best receiver. That honor lies with Pickens, who came into Week 14 with 1,142 yards and eight touchdowns through 12 games. Part of his success, though, has been playing opposite Lamb, so it will be interesting to see how he can adjust to being the WR1 for the rest of Week 14 at least. The added bad news about Lamb being out is that Dallas’ wide receiver depth is tanked. After Pickens, the Cowboys only have three other wide receivers active for the game. Turpin is a special teams specialist, but can show off his speed when he gets into space.The problem with a concussion is that the symptoms can linger into the following week so Lamb could miss Dallas’ Week 15 game too. One bright spot has been Flournoy. He saw a role increase with Lamb getting hurt, even hauling in a 42-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Dak finds a WIDE OPEN Ryan Flournoy for the 42-yard TD!DALvsDET on Prime VideoAlso streaming on @NFLPluspic.twitter.com/TI7rwgPKAy— NFL (@NFL) December 5, 2025This article will be updated.
