Head coach Mike McCarthy recognizes his star receiver’s leadership and influence on the younger players.
“CeeDee is an impact player, one of the best in the game,” McCarthy said. “His value goes beyond just what he does with the ball in his hands; defenses adjust simply based on where he lines up, which creates chances for others.
CeeDee is very thorough in how he prepares, and that sets a great example for the younger guys. He’s an essential part of our team.”
Although Lamb is clearly playing through a shoulder injury, he remains focused on helping the Cowboys fight for a postseason spot, no matter how slim the odds.
CeeDee has downplayed concerns about his health, emphasizing his desire to win. “I’m not too worried about being hurt,” Lamb said.
“I’m aware of what’s happening and how I need to prepare throughout the week. Once I’m out there, my only focus is on winning the game.”
