There’s nothing NFL fans and fantasy football owners love more than late-week practice injuries. That’s exactly what Dallas Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb is dealing with ahead of his team’s “Monday Night Football” game against the Houston Texans.

Lamb practiced heavily for the Cowboys on Thursday and Friday before being limited on Saturday due to a back injury. As a result, the veteran receiver drew a “questionable” tag for Monday night’s game, putting his status for Dallas’ crucial game in question.

Will Lamb play against the Texans, or will his back injury keep him out? Here’s what you need to know about Lamb’s status for ‘MNF’ in Week 11.

CeeDee Lamb injury update

Dallas executive vice president Stephen Jones told 105.3 The Fan on Monday that the Cowboys believe Lamb will be able to play on “Monday Night Football” in Week 11..

“We feel really good about him being able to play tonight,” Jones said when asked about Lamb’s status.

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy didn’t seem too concerned about Lamb’s injury on Saturday. He told reporters that Lamb “something came up” during one of the team’s practices, but downplayed the possibility of the team’s star receiver missing the game.

“We’ll look at him (Sunday), but I’m not too concerned,” McCarthy told reporters on Saturday.

Cowboy fans and Lamb’s fantasy owners will still want to check the wideout’s status 90 minutes before game time when the inactive list is released. But at this point, it doesn’t look like Lamb is in danger of missing Monday night’s Governor’s Cup battle.

What is CeeDee Lamb’s injury?

Lamb is dealing with a back problem that showed up during Saturday’s Cowboys practice. Neither Lamb nor Dallas provided details on the nature of the injury. McCarthy has said only that it is “not a major concern” and the team expects him to play Monday.

Perhaps Lamb will give fans more details about his back problem after the “Monday Night Football” battle.

Cowboys WR Depth Chart

Having Lamb available will be crucial for the Cowboys. He is their No. 1 receiver, and without him, Cooper Rush would have to rely on an unproven group to lead the charge for Dallas’ passing offense.

Below is a depth chart of Dallas’ six-man receiver:

Jalen Tolbert
Jalen Brooks
KaVontae Turpin
Ryan Flournoy
Jonathan Mingo

The Cowboys also have veteran receiver Brandin Cooks on IR and multi-year veterans Kelvin Harmon, Jalen Moreno-Cropper and Seth Williams on the practice squad. Moreno-Cropper is the only one of the team’s current practice squad receivers to log an offensive snap this season.

Lamb has recorded 59 catches for 681 yards and four touchdowns during the 2024 NFL season. He leads the Cowboys in all three categories and enters Week 11 with 37 more targets than the next most targeted Cowboys, tight end Jake Ferguson (57).

Last season, Lamb led the NFL with 135 receptions and recorded 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns en route to his first career first-team All-Pro. All of these numbers represented Lamb’s best numbers of his career.
