The Dallas Cowboys were already trailing the Detroit Lions during their Thursday Night Football game on December 4, but in the third quarter, the Cowboys got even more bad news when wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was injured trying to make a catch and quickly walked off the field to the sidelines.
Following the play, social media lit up with the idea that Lamb suffered a concussion. “CeeDee was out cold. If he comes back the concussion protocol is broken,” one viewer said on X. “Looks like CeeDee season should be done,” another added.
The hit looked bad, and former NFL player Ross Tucker reported just minutes after the incident, “CeeDee Lamb going to locker room after walking with red hat for a while. That’s not good.” So, here’s the latest on the status of Lamb’s injury.
Update on CeeDee Lamb of the Dallas Cowboys
Shortly after the incident, the Dallas Cowboys officially announced that Lamb is out for the game with a concussion. So, in a game where the Cowboys were already trailing, they lost one of their best with nearly half of the game left.
At first, viewing the incident, it looked as if Lamb was dealing with an arm injury, but it was actually his head hitting the turf where he was injured. He was leaning towards his left arm after falling in the end zone, and after being down a few seconds, he walked off the field, bracing his arm.
According to the team, doctors evaluated Lamb for three minutes and rule him out. That’s when he was taken to the locker room, according to the game’s broadcast on the Prime Video.
Lamb is a force for this team. In 2022, Lamb had four receptions for 70 yards in a 24-6 win in Week 7. In 2023, he had one of the greatest games of his career in a thrilling, 20-19 win in Week 17 with 13 receptions for 227 yards and one touchdown.
“I find it fun; that’s what football is,” Lamb told reporters on Monday, December 1, leading up to the Detroit Lions game. ”Sometimes the refs let you play, sometimes they won’t. We’ll see how it goes. But as far as the physicality of the game, I know what’s going to happen.”
Detroit Lions Have Their Wide Receiver Back
For the Lions, the team announced that Amon-Ra St. Brown would be back to face the Cowboys just moments before the game started. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported at 6:39 p.m. ET that St. Brown “gave him a thumbs up” that he, indeed, will be going up against the Dallas Cowboys. Detroit named him “questionable” on its final injury report and the coaches were expected to make a game-time decision about whether he’d be on the field
It became apparent early that St. Brown would be back. He was a full participant in pre-game warmups, according to a report from Fowler. St. Brown is a player who rarely misses time on the field. He’s actually only missed two games during his five years in the NFL. The last full game he missed was in 2023.
