FORT WORTH, Texas — Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will miss the remaining two games of the season after having additional testing done on his injured shoulder earlier this week, according to the team.

Here is the statement from the Dallas Cowboys:

“Additional examinations and scans this week on CeeDee Lamb’s shoulder have determined that his injury has now progressed to a point that he will be listed as ‘Out’ for the remaining two games of the season.

"He will undergo a process of treatment and rehabilitation for his shoulder, is not currently expected to require surgery and is projected to make a full recovery.”

Lamb finishes his fifth season with the Cowboys with 101 receptions for 1,194 yards and six touchdowns despite playing through the injury for most of the season and having two starting quarterbacks. He registered his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard season and his third consecutive 100-reception year, as he led the team in all major receiving categories.

After coming down hard on his right shoulder in the team’s Week 9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, Lamb played through a sprained AC joint that played a big part in what Lamb said is the “most banged up” he’s been in his career.

The further imaging on Lamb’s shoulder revealed that the degree of the injury had worsened, according to a team source.

Lamb registered back-to-back 100-yard games for the first time this season in his final two contests on the year. The final two games of the season will be Lamb’s first time sidelined since he entered the NFL in 2020.

In his final game of the year against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Lamb came down hard on the shoulder once again on a 54-yard reception in the first half. He was used sparingly for the rest of the contest.
