CeeDee Lamb happy with ankle, ready to return for Cowboys – Todd Archer, ESPN
CeeDee Lamb sounds like he’ll be ready to play on Sunday.
FRISCO, Texas — Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl wide receiver CeeDee Lamb said he is ready to return to the lineup Sunday against the Washington Commanders after missing the past three games with a high left ankle sprain.
Lamb went through a limited practice for the second straight day Thursday, but he said it won’t take him long to get back up to speed.
“I feel like I’m moving around, running around being me,” Lamb said. “Happy as can be obviously just believing in my ankle. Obviously, I feel like it’s back to where I needed it to be.”
Lamb said that he could have returned last weekend against the Carolina Panthers but that the extra week gave him more confidence.
Lamb talks about missing the past few games.
FRISCO, Texas – Barring something unforeseen, the Cowboys offense will add All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb back to their starting lineup on Sunday against the Washington Commanders.
Lamb, who has missed the last three full games with a high ankle sprain, has not enjoyed his time watching Dallas’ league-best offense from the sidelines and is itching to get back out onto the field.
“It’s been tough mentally and physically, obviously, with my ankle and rehab and everything, but then mentally obviously because of the player I am and how anxious I am to get out there,” Lamb said.”
“But trusting in my process and trusting in my team, my rehab team, and the training staff here, it’s just getting back right and making sure that it’s right for me to go out there and be myself again.”
Linebacker Jack Sanborn should also be making a return to the lineup.
3:45 p.m. — Cowboys linebacker Jack Sanborn (concussion) was upgraded from limited participation Wednesday to being a full participant on Thursday’s injury report.
That puts him in line to return Sunday against the Washington Commanders, rejoining a linebacker group that has struggled in recent weeks. The only changes to the injury report Thursday were OL Trevon Keegan (neck) not participating after being limited Wednesday, and Juanyeh Thomas (migraine) being limited.
For Washington, Pro Bowl WR Terry McLaurin (quad) did not participate Thursday after being limited Wednesday. McLaurin has missed the last three games for the Commanders, and his status for Sunday against Dallas is in question.
Where can the Cowboys improve against the Commanders?
Dallas was awful on first down, defensively, against Carolina in Week 6. The Panthers ran 26...
