The Dallas Cowboys have officially activated wide receiver CeeDee Lamb from the exempt list in preparation for their Week 1 game against the Cleveland Browns, as reported by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Lamb, who had been on the exempt list while getting back into shape after signing a four-year, $136 million contract extension, will be playing on Sunday. His return was anticipated after his extended holdout during training camp, and the Cowboys’ decision to remove him from the exempt list confirms his availability for the game.
Lamb’s performance will be crucial for the Cowboys as they face off against the Browns, who are considered one of the most formidable defenses in the league. This game is an important early test for Dallas, which is aiming to establish itself as a serious contender in the NFC.
The Cowboys are motivated to secure a victory, especially after the Philadelphia Eagles’ recent win over the Green Bay Packers. A strong showing against the Browns could help Dallas make a significant statement.
This season is particularly critical for the Cowboys, and for quarterback Dak Prescott in particular. Despite being a skilled quarterback, Prescott’s ability to succeed in the playoffs and against top teams has been questioned. If this season mirrors previous ones, the Cowboys may face a tough decision in the offseason, as Prescott is in the final year of his contract.
