As it stands, the Cowboys are No. 3 in the NFC East, and the Commanders are No. 2, so a win over Washington would really help the team bring their average up.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike last season, the Cowboys have their franchise quarterback,\u00a0Dak Prescott, back in the fold. He\u2019s playing well this season and is topping plenty of best-of quarterback tallies, \u201cIf it weren\u2019t for Dallas\u2019 persistent defensive woes, Prescott might be drawing real awards buzz,\u201d Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports notes in a Wednesday, October 15, feature about the best quarterbacks in the league. \u201cHe\u2019s been without CeeDee Lamb and a fully healthy front, but his chemistry with George Pickens has helped the \u2018Boys light up scoreboards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s funny that Benjamin should mention Lamb, because the Cowboys just made a major announcement about the star wide receiver. Will he be back on the field soon?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Official CeeDee Lamb News Finally Comes In<\/h2>\n<p>Lamb was expected to return to the field for Sunday\u2019s game against the Commanders, but nothing was official about it. Until now, that is. On Friday, October 17, Lamb officially had no injury designation for the Washington game, meaning he\u2019s ready to play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCowboys WR CeeDee Lamb was a full participant in practice today, is officially off the injury report and will return Sunday vs. Washington,\u201d Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network stated on Friday in a post on X.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCeeDee Lamb, Tyler Booker and KaVontae Turpin have no injury designation for Sunday\u2019s game against Washington. They\u2019re full go,\u201d added Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas News.\u00a0Calvin Watkins of the Dallas News also shared the official Friday practice reports on X.<\/p>\n<p>So, those who follow the Dallas Cowboys will see a familiar face on Sunday with Lamb back on the field. It couldn\u2019t happen soon enough.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Dak Prescott Talks CeeDee Lamb<\/h2>\n<p>On Thursday, October 16, Prescott opened up about what it would be like to have Lamb back. He was obviously excited.\u00a0A lot of excitement,\u201d Prescott said about Lamb coming back, according to ESPN. \u201cJust the last two days of practice, he looks good. He\u2019s ready to go. Obviously, I saw him last weekend during rehab, and he probably could\u2019ve went then. Being careful. But he\u2019s ready to go. Looks great. It\u2019s going to be fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not why I\u2019m hungry,\u201d Lamb added. \u201cWhy I\u2019m hungry is me missing time and doing what I love and playing with the guys that I love and breaking the huddle and being able to just go out there and be me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Precott also gushed over George Pickens, who picked up a lot of the slack for Lamb being gone. He said that having Lamb and Pickens on the field will be great, noting, \u201chaving the ability to have two guys like that and just put them wherever we feel each and every play, it\u2019s only going to be beneficial to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, the Cowboys are ready for the challenge again, and now, they\u2019re healthy again.<\/p>\n<p>Anne Erickson is an award-winning reporter for Heavy Sports covering the NFL, NBA and college football.
