Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Notches 70 yards on 18 targets
Rotowire
Lamb caught nine of 18 targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Packers.
Lamb led the Cowboys in catches and targets as he bounced back from a nine-yard performance in last Thursday's loss to the Buccaneers, during which he was bothered by a quadriceps contusion. After the Cowboys fell behind 17-0 at halftime, the star receiver gave the offense a spark on the team's first drive of the second half with a 17-yard catch to convert on fourth down. Javonte Williams eventually capped that possession with a touchdown run to get the Cowboys on the board, but Dallas wouldn't score again until the game's final minute. Lamb has drawn 69 targets heading into a Week 7 road game against the Eagles compared to 52 targets for George Pickens, who turned his 11 looks into a team-high 73 receiving yards in the loss to Green Bay.
Lamb (thigh) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Lamb suffered what at the time was reported to be a quadriceps injury in the fourth quarter of last Thursday's loss to the Buccaneers. On Friday morning, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Lamb was tending to a bruised quad that wasn't deemed to be serious. Indeed, with an uncapped practice under his belt to begin Week 6 prep, what is now a listed thigh issue won't impact Lamb's availability for Sunday night's game at Green Bay.
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Injury seemingly not serious
Rotowire
Lamb is believed to be dealing with a "quad bruise" that is "not considered to be serious," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Lamb was deemed questionable to return to Thursday's loss to the Buccaneers after -- per the Cowboys' official website -- taking a "hit on the same quad that got hit last week," and although he briefly got back out there he was not on the field for his team's final drive. Lamb does not appear to be facing an extended absence and will have extra time to rest and recover before the Cowboys face the Packers in Week 6, but it could be a few days until the next update on his status arrives.

Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Nursing quad injury
Rotowire
Lamb (quadriceps) is questionable to return to Thursday night's game against Tampa Bay, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Lamb was standing on the sideline with his helmet on in the fourth quarter, suggesting the injury isn't serious, but he watched as the offense marched down the field and put it in the end zone. Ryan Flournoy, Jonathan Mingo and KaVontae Turpin will soak up additional snaps at wideout, while George Pickens handles clear WR1 duties with Lamb sidelined. Prior to his injury, Lamb caught two of five targets for nine yards.
