CeeDee Lamb is now dealing with a quadriceps injury, making the Dallas Cowboys’ Thursday night game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers even worse. This came right after he suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of an already rough outing.
Lamb’s Rollercoaster Night Ends With A Limp
Talk about a gut punch for the Cowboys. Lamb initially left the game in the fourth quarter, and the team revealed he was battling a quadriceps injury. You could see the pain on his face; he was spotted on the bench, clearly grimacing. Cowboys beat writer Nick Harris from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram confirmed it, writing: “Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (quad) is questionable to return.” But get this: he actually tried to come back in. He went back on the field, then exited *immediately* again, totally hobbled. At that point, anyone watching knew it would be a shocker if he returned to the game.
Dallas’s Offense Is In Deep Trouble Without Their Star
Look, even before the injury, Lamb was having a terrible night. He only managed two catches for nine yards, a complete 180 from his dominant performance last week. With the Cowboys already trailing, losing their No. 1 wide receiver is absolutely devastating. George Pickens has been doing his best to pick up the slack, tallying seven catches for 113 yards and one touchdown, easily his best showing of the season. But let’s be real, expecting Jonathan Mingo and KaVontae Turpin to carry that load is a huge ask, because neither one of them is exactly reliable. And Jake Ferguson? He’s been almost non-existent tonight, so we’re not holding our breath for a sudden resurgence there.
With Lamb hobbled and potentially out for the rest of the night, and the offense already struggling hard, the Cowboys are facing a major uphill battle to turn this game around. They’re going to need someone, anyone, to step up if they want a shot at overcoming this mess.
