Things are going from bad to worse for the Dallas Cowboys.
As the team tried to rebound from a 3-4 start to the season during its Week 9 trip to Atlanta, star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb suffered multiple hard falls on his shoulder and required attention from the team’s medical staff.
Lamb’s injury woes are an extension of bigger problems for the Cowboys. Quarterback Dak Prescott left his Week 9 game early with a hamstring injury and was later ruled out for the game.
Here’s everything we know about Lamb’s injury.

CeeDee Lamb injury update
Lamb suffered a shoulder injury in Atlanta that put his return to action in doubt. His return was doubtful. He would later return to the game for a successful two-point conversion.
Lamb first dealt with a shoulder problem late in the first half when he had to be evaluated by the Dallas training staff before halftime. He returned to the field and continued to play in the second half until taking a hard fall while trying to catch a Cooper Rush pass near the end zone.

After the hard fall, Lamb continued to receive treatment on his right hand in the fourth quarter, tentatively considering returning for the two-point conversion.
Lamb will have an MRI on his shoulder. There is hope he will be able to play in Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but testing will help better determine his availability.
