Why Isn't CeeDee Lamb Playing?
CeeDee Lamb missed the first drive for the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, sitting on the bench in uniform and not taking the field at kickoff against the Raiders a moment that had fans and even commentators a little thrown off. It wasn’t predicted that Lamb and George Pickens would both be absent right out of the gate, since there hadn’t been any big injury news or major suspension talk leading up to the game.This decision making coach. On X, @jasrifootball shared a wild update: Both CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens were benched for their team’s first offensive possession due to a coach’s decision.
Reports surfaced quickly: both players might have missed some team obligations, which led to this unexpected, one-drive benching. Lamb wasn’t injured, just sitting out as a form of brief discipline not the start fantasy owners or die-hard Cowboys fans were picturing. But just as people started searching for injury updates and theorizing about a sudden twist, both Lamb and Pickens jogged onto the field for the Cowboys’ second drive, ready to play. On X, @tommy_yarrish reported that CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens have taken the field in Las Vegas.
So, the whole thing turned out to be a one-drive punishment and not a sign of something more serious just a quick, attention-grabbing move from the coaching staff to keep everyone in line. Both stars got right back into the action after that, and the drama fizzled out before it really had time to spark.
