Even the sidelines don’t seem to be safe for Dallas Cowboys players as they try to stay healthy during the preseason.

Cowboys star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was not dressed for today’s preseason game between Dallas and the Los Angeles Rams. But he probably should have known better than to get close to the field of play in the middle of the action.

During a Cowboys defensive play, Lamb started celebrating on the sideline in the middle of the play. But he turned his back on the field, not noticing that one of the sideline officials was running up to follow the play.

The official had his eyes on the play and did not notice Lamb. So when the official collided with Lamb, both of them were sent sprawling onto the ground at SoFi Stadium.

Reaction

Fans immediately started making fun of the Cowboys over that little incident:

“Jerry Jones is about to crash out,” NFL insider Josina Anderson joked.

“This is perfection. The hit, the way the hat flies off, how he and the ref fall down. I can’t stop laughing at it,” another user wrote.

“I seriously can’t stop laughing,” wrote a third.

Cowboys fans, who have been through the wringer this offseason, were overwhelmed in the opposite way:

“Imagine not being a fan of the Dallas Cowboys. Imagine not having the most Not Normal things happen to your team on a daily basis. That must be so stable and soothing,” one Cowboys fan lamented.

“First ‘only the Cowboys’ of the year.”

“Cowboys in a nutshell.”

An offseason from hell

It’s been an offseason to forget for the Dallas Cowboys, that’s for sure.

It all started with the team parting ways withe head coach Mike McCarthy after a disappointing season that saw numerous starters miss significant time with injuries. That was then followed by a very unusual coaching search that culminated in owner Jerry Jones promoting offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to head coach.

The free agency period was lackluster. The draft was useful, but hardly roster-changing. Trades were aplenty.

Then training camp arrived and so did Micah Parsons… for a while at least.

The all-world pass rusher has been in a contract dispute with the team since the beginning of the offseason. That dispute culminated with Parsons’ recent request for a trade and a staring contest between himself and Jones over who will blink first.

Things could very easily get worse in Dallas before they get better.

If this play didn’t exemplify that, nothing will.
