CeeDee Lamb (thigh) and Joey Porter Jr. (ankle) were full participants at Tuesday’s Cowboys practice, staying on track to play in Thursday’s game against the Buccaneers. This is the exact same report as Monday, which was an estimate based on a walkthrough, but it’s still what you want to see for two huge pieces of that squad.
Key Players Back on Track
Seriously, getting Lamb and Porter Jr. back to full speed is huge, especially when you consider they both got dinged up in Sunday’s victory over the Texans. That kind of turnaround, going from injured in a game to full participation just a few days later, really shows they’re pushing to be out there. It’s not just those two either. Safety Alijah Clark (ankle), running back Tyler Goodson (ankle), safety Malik Hooker (forearm), and outside linebacker James Houston (shoulder) all remained full participants as well. That’s a lot of key guys ready to roll.
Who’s Still Sidelined?
It ain’t all sunshine and rainbows, though. They’ve still got some dudes on the mend. Cornerback Cobie Durant (hamstring), linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (hamstring), and offensive tackle Drew Shelton (hamstring) were all non-participants again. That’s a tough blow for depth, especially with multiple hamstring issues. And offensive guard Tyler Smith (thumb) was still limited in practice, even after his 21-day return-to-practice window opened up on Monday. So while the big names are looking good for Thursday, there are still some lingering concerns to keep an eye on before kickoff.
The focus now shifts to Thursday night against the Bucs. With Lamb and Porter Jr. looking good to go, it’s a massive boost heading into that matchup. You know every snap matters, and having your playmakers on both sides of the ball makes all the difference when you’re trying to stack up those wins.
