The Dallas Cowboys are heading into a \u201cmust win\u201d game against the Washington Commanders on Sunday.\u00a0 Sitting at 2-3-1, Dallas needs to string together a few wins to get back into contention in the NFC East.\u00a0 The Commanders come in at 3-3, while both teams are chasing Philadelphia at 4-2.<\/p>\n

However, Dallas had some major news to announce prior to this weekend\u2019s matchup.<\/p>\n

Before their matchup with the Commanders, the Cowboys get CeeDee Lamb Back<\/h2>\n

Trevon Diggs, the team\u2019s cornerback, was ruled out Friday after sustaining a concussion in an accident at his home.\u00a0 However, CeeDee Lamb, the team\u2019s star wide receiver, is likely to return:<\/p>\n

\n

Lamb hasn\u2019t played since Week 3, when he suffered an ankle injury in a loss to the\u00a0Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n

However, Lamb logged limited practice time the last two days with the expectation that he would return for the game.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the Cowboys released the official injury report, and Lamb was a full participant in practice, which is good news for the Cowboys and quarterback\u00a0Dak Prescott.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Tom Pelissero of\u00a0NFL\u00a0Network also confirmed that Lamb will play.<\/p>\n

\u201cWR CeeDee Lamb was a full participant in practice today, is officially off the injury report and will return Sunday vs. Washington,\u201d Pelissero wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Lamb has 16 catches for 222 yards without a touchdown this season.<\/p>\n

However, he had 101 receptions for 1,194 yards with six scores in 2024 and 135 catches for 1,749 yards and 12 scores in 2023, so he is a favorite target for Prescott.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys face the Commanders (3-3) on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET on Fox.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
