Cowboys shutting down CeeDee Lamb with 2 games to go over receiver’s shoulder issue

Associated Press  

FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys are shutting down CeeDee Lamb with two games remaining after their 2023 All-Pro receiver spent the second half of the season dealing with a sprained right shoulder. The decision on Lamb means the Cowboys will finish the regular season with at least five former Pro Bowlers on injured reserve. Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence didn’t playing after Week 4 because of a foot injury, and cornerback Trevon Diggs battled a variety of injuries while playing 11 games before a knee injury ended his season. The holdout finally ended with a $136 million, four-year extension in late August, but neither the Cowboys nor their star receiver could get that production going again this season.
