news now:Cowboys’ CeeDee Lamb gets Week 1 practice update after $136 million contract…
Since CeeDee Lamb and Jerry Jones are getting along well, Dak Prescott’s contract with the Dallas Cowboys is still in effect. But after agreeing to his $136 million contract, Lamb went back to practice and was given a Week 1 update.
According to ESPN writer Todd Archer, Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy stated that Lamb will be restricted in how much work he does throughout practice.
“CeeDee Lamb will be on a ‘pitch count’ during today’s practice, according to Mike McCarthy, but the wide receiver will be ready to go by the end of the week for Cleveland,” Archer wrote on X.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb ready to rock
Based on information provided by Mike McCarthy and Clavin Watkins of the Dallas News, it appears like Lamb did not skip all of training camp.
“MM stated that CeeDee Lamb’s comeback has been outstanding. In practice, he’s on a “pitch count”. Today, he’ll work a little bit more,” Watkins wrote on X.
For the Cowboys, whose receiver room went from ugly to brilliant star with a single penstroke, Lamb’s return is huge news. Lamb told nfl.com that missing training camp is not a huge problem.
To be completely honest, I don’t think it will lag behind at all, Lamb remarked. “I’ve played this game my entire life, so I’m ready and prepared for these occasions. I’ve gained some additional body armor, so I can withstand a few more blows. For my opportunities, I’m ready
Many people consider Lamb to be among the top wide receivers in the league. In addition to setting career highs of 1,749 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns, he led the NFL in receptions with 135 in the previous season.
What does Lamb want Cowboys to do now?
Lamb suggested that the Cowboys concentrate on bringing quarterback Dak Prescott into the fold. Following the 2024 season, Prescott, the seasoned signal-caller for the Cowboys, may become a free agent. This is Prescott’s ninth NFL season.
Lamb remarked, “I want Dak here, as we all know.” Jerry also wants Dak present. So let’s simply put an end to the rumors and get this under control.
One issue that could hinder Lamb’s progress is a potential lower-body injury, which is a common occurrence for explosive receivers who miss training camp. Nevertheless, in his NFL career thus far, he has been an ironman. He has started 34 straight games for the Cowboys over the past two seasons. Lamb was selected to the Pro Bowl three times. He was voted third in the AP offensive player of the year voting and was named to the first team of the All-Pro team last year.
