In the end, the Dallas Cowboys are making the right call. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb's season has come to an end as he's been ruled out of the two remaining games on the team's schedule.
The decision comes following the team's official elimination last Sunday and in the heels of eight games played with a banged up shoulder. Jerry Jones said earlier in the week they'd allow CeeDee to have a say on his status. Lamb suffered a shoulder injury back in Week 9, the same game in which Dak Prescott suffered a season-ending hamstring injury.
Despite being in visible pain in a weekly basis, Lamb refused to stop playing despite the Cowboys having virtually no chance of playing in the playoffs since well over a month ago.
Lamb's year ends third in the NFL in both receptions (101) and receiving yards (1,194). That's despite playing the back half of the season with a backup QB in Cooper Rush and while fighting through injury. Though other candidates are likely to overtake him in the last couple of games, Lamb is deserving of All-Pro consideration given his circumstances.
Micah Parsons talked to reporters about his teammate and he sent a message noting how special Lamb's 2024 season really was:
"He's quarterback-proof," Parsons told reporters via All City DLLS' Clarence Hill Jr. "I seen him get 1,000 (yards) with Andy Dalton. Get 1,000 with Dak Prescott. Get 1,000 with Cooper Rush. You give grace to all these other wide receivers and say, 'Oh, they're not producing because they don't got their quarterback.' But CeeDee is showing time and time again that he could do it with anybody throwing. He can find a way to get open. He's competitive. He's a dog. I just don't think he's comparable. That's why I think he the best."
To Parsons' point, Lamb is off to such a hot start to his career that he will wind up just 36 receiving yards short of legendary wide receiver Jerry Rice for the fourth-most receiving yards in a player’s first five seasons in NFL history.
What CeeDee did this year shouldn't be overlooked just because of the Cowboys' mediocre record. He did justice to his No. 88 by not only producing at a high level but by showing zero quit on him even when the season appeared to be over well before math made it official.
Dallas knows it's got a good leader in Lamb. Now it's time to allow him to heal up and move on to 2025.
