Things took a positive turn on Wednesday when he participated in practice on Wednesday, albeit as a limited participant.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\">The situation improved when he was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday, and on Friday, NFL Network&#8217;s Tom Pelissero reported that the four-time Pro Bowler had officially cleared concussion protocol, thus putting Lamb in line to take the field on Sunday night. Dallas head coach Brian Schottenheimer later confirmed the news.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\">CeeDee Lamb is aiming for a third straight 100-yard game in the Cowboys&#8217; crucial Week 15 battle with the Vikings<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\">Prior to his injury against the Lions, Lamb was on his way to a monster outing, as he&#8217;d already gone for a season-high 121 yards on six catches. One has to wonder if he could&#8217;ve hit the 200-yard mark, as his injury occurred just over two minutes into the second half.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">One week earlier, the three-time All-Pro also surpassed the century mark, catching seven passes on nine targets for 112 yards with a touchdown in the Cowboys&#8217; 31-28 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">It could be a bit tougher for Lamb to reach the 100-yard mark on Sunday night, as the Vikings have surrendered just 172.3 passing yards per game this season, good for the fourth-fewest in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\">But just having No. 88 on the field is obviously good news for the Cowboys, who basically have no shot at securing a wild-card spot but are still alive in the NFC East race, as the Philadelphia Eagles have taken a bit of a tumble in recent weeks, losing their last three. Dallas will likely need to win its final four games and then hope the Birds take a couple of more losses down the stretch.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last time the Dallas Cowboys took the field was 10 days ago, and things did not go well, as America&#8217;s Team took a devastating 44-30 defeat to the Detroit Li<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39692,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dallas-cowboys"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Is CeeDee Lamb playing today vs. Vikings?
