Analysis

Lamb was peppered with targets throughout the game, as he accounted for 116 of Cooper Rush's 214 passing yards. He delivered long gains of 28 and 20 yards, while also finding the end zone from 14 yards away to tally the Cowboys' first touchdown of the game. Most importantly, Lamb looked to be healthier after being slowed by a shoulder injury for the last several weeks.

Analysis

Lamb will continue playing through an AC joint sprain that he initially suffered Week 9. He aggravated the injury a few weeks ago, but that hasn't impacted his playing time or target volume in subsequent games.

Analysis

Since sustaining an AC joint issue in his shoulder Week 9, Lamb has had his practice reps impacted on occasion, including back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 15 prep. He's still suited up for each of the Cowboys' ensuing five games, reeling in 32 of 47 passes from QB Cooper Rush for 313 yards and one touchdown while adding four carries for 18 yards. Friday's injury report will clarify whether or not Lamb enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game in Carolina.

Analysis

An AC joint injury in Lamb's shoulder has flared up from time to time since he got hurt Week 9 in Atlanta. He's suited up in each of the Cowboys' five games in the meantime -- all with Cooper Rush under center -- and has racked up 32 catches (on 47 targets) for 313 yards and one touchdown and four carries for 18 more yards. Lamb may need to practice in full Thursday and/or Friday to head into Sunday's contest at Carolina without an injury designation.

Analysis

Lamb paced the Cowboys in receptions, receiving yards and targets while also recording an 11-yard touchdown grab on fourth down in the first quarter. The star wideout continued to display solid chemistry with Cooper Rush, and Monday night's yardage total tied for Lamb's highest since Rush officially took over starting quarterback duties for Dak Prescott (IR, hamstring) in Week 10. Lamb heads into a favorable Week 15 road matchup against the Panthers with at least six catches in seven of the last eight contests, as well as double-digit targets on five occasions in that span.

Analysis

Lamb was confident earlier this week that he'd be able to play in the primetime matchup, and he's now poised to enter an incredibly enticing fantasy position as the primary focal point for an offense that likely will need to move the ball through the air. The All-Pro wideout has gutted through a difficult shoulder injury since Week 9 and has failed to play more than 83 percent of the snaps in all but one of the last four games as a result, but he's effectively in must-play territory regardless given how porous Cincinnati's defense has been against the pass all season.

Analysis

Lamb said Thursday that he'll play in Monday's game against the Bengals, having regained full range of motion and strength in the shoulder that he re-injured during a Week 13 win over the Giants. He initially suffered an AC joint sprain Week 9 at Atlanta, but he's played in every game this season and doesn't seem especially amenable to shutting things down early amidst a disappointing season for the Cowboys.

Analysis

Lamb initially injured his right shoulder Week 9 in Atlanta, but he's been able to suit up in the ensuing four contests with Cooper Rush taking over for Dak Prescott (hamstring) under center, compiling a 26-220-0 line on 40 targets over the last four games. During the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day win against the Giants, he again was seen clutching the same shoulder after taking a hard fall in the second half. On Thursday, coach Mike McCarthy told Jon Machota of The Athletic that Lamb would be limited in practice, and the wide receiver himself relayed to Machota that he has full range of motion and strength back in the shoulder. "As far as Monday goes, I'll be fine by then," Lamb added. Despite not practicing after all Thursday, he'll have two more opportunities to mix into drills this week before Monday's contest against the Bengals.

Analysis

Lamb is tending to a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder, an injury he sustained in the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day win over the Giants and played a part in him handling a season-low 67 percent snap share. He had first injured the shoulder in a Nov. 3 loss to the Falcons, but the apparent aggravation isn't quite as severe, as Lamb said Thursday that he has full range of motion in the shoulder and has regained strength over the past week. He'll have two more opportunities Friday and Saturday to increase his practice activity and clear up any concerns about his availability for Monday's contest.
