Lamb isn't in line to play in Friday's preseason contest against the Falcons, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb thus won't see any exhibition action ahead of the Cowboys' season opener Thursday, Sept. 4 at Philadelphia. Since he was selected in the first round of the 2020 Draft, he has four 1,000-yard campaigns under his belt, three of which he also surpassed 100 catches and averaged nine TDs per year in those seasons. Such output makes him a consensus first-round pick in the vast majority of fantasy drafts.

Lamb is among the key Dallas players not slated to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Rams, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Archer, the same applies to QB Dak Prescott, RB Javonte Williams, WRs George Pickens and KaVontae Turpin, as well as TE Jake Ferguson. Lamb's next chance to see game action will arrive Aug. 16 against the Ravens.

Lamb already appears ready for Week 1 as one of the standout performers for the Cowboys to begin training camp, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It shouldn't be a surprise that the Cowboys' top wideout has looked good, as Lamb has made four straight Pro Bowls while topping 1,100 receiving yards in each of those seasons. The 26-year-old still finds ways to try and improve, however. "I had one drop a couple days ago," Lamb said Wednesday about his sole drop so far in practice. "It sucked. I hate it. It made me start all the way over." He saw his production drop last year along with the rest of the Cowboys' passing game, in part due to Dak Prescott's torn hamstring. If the quarterback can stay healthy this time around, Lamb could come close to the career-best 135-1,749-12 line he delivered in 2023.

Lamb (shoulder) and the Cowboys agreed to terms Tuesday on a restructured contract that will create roughly $20 million in salary-cap space for the team, Tommy Yarrish of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb is working his way back from an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, which caused him to miss the final two games of the 2024 campaign, but he should be fully recovered by the time Dallas' offseason activities begin. The Pro Bowl wideout posted a 101-1,194-6 line on 152 targets across 15 regular-season appearances last season, despite being paired with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) for only eight of those contests. Getting Lamb and Prescott back at full health will provide reason for optimism with the Cowboys' passing game under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer, whose scheme promises an uptick in play action and improvements in the running game.

Lamb (shoulder) has been placed on IR by the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

The Cowboys previously announced that Lamb will be sidelined for the team's final two games of the season, but the star wideout isn't expected to require surgery to address an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, per Jane Slater of NFL Network. With Lamb sidelined, Brandin Cooks, Jalen Tolbert (finger), Jalen Brooks (knee) KaVontae Turpin, Ryan Flournoy and Jonathan Mingo are the team's rostered wide receivers ahead of Week 17 action.

The Cowboys announced Thursday that Lamb will be sidelined for the final two games of the season but isn't expected to require surgery to address the AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb initially injured his shoulder in a Nov. 3 loss to the Falcons, but he had been playing through the issue in the last seven games on his way to accruing a 48-534-2 receiving line on 68 targets and tacking on an additional 18 yards on four carries. After he was limited to a season-low offensive snap share of 55 percent in this past Sunday's 26-24 win over the Buccaneers, he underwent additional exams and scans on his shoulder earlier this week that showed his injury had worsened. Lamb would likely push through the injury and continue playing if the 7-8 Cowboys were still in the playoff hunt, but he'll instead get a head start on his rehabilitation. He's projected to make a full recovery from the injury and should be available for the start of the Cowboys' offseason program.

Lamb (shoulder) isn't taking part in Thursday's practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

This follows a listed DNP for Lamb on Wednesday's practice estimate, which is more work than he's typically missed since coming down with an AC joint injury in his shoulder back in Week 9. As a result, he'll have just one more day to mix into drills this week before the Cowboys potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Philadelphia.

Lamb (shoulder) was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb has played through an AC joint injury in his shoulder since Week 9, but he's still suited up for every game in the interim, accumulating a 48-534-2 line on 68 targets over the last seven games. He hasn't missed a beat with quarterback Cooper Rush under center in place of Dak Prescott, but Lamb again will get some rest to kick off Week 17 prep.

Lamb (shoulder) recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 105 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb dominated the Buccaneers in the first half by posting six receptions for 100 yards, highlighted by long receptions of 34 and 52 yards -- both of which set up points for Dallas. However, he was once again slowed in the second half by a lingering shoulder injury that has limited his snaps in several recent games. Despite that, Lamb has still topped 100 yards in consecutive contests heading into a Week 17 divisional matchup against the Eagles.

Lamb (shoulder) practiced in full Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lamb has been tending to an AC joint injury in his shoulder since Week 9, which resulted in a cap on his reps to begin Week 16 prep. However, he got back to full participation Thursday, clearing him to take on the Buccaneers on Sunday. Lamb has a nice on-paper matchup against a Tampa Bay defense that has conceded the third-most catches (192) to opposing wide receivers in 14 games this season.
