Dallas Cowboys quarterback CeeDee Lamb left Thursday night’s game against the host Detroit Lions with a concussion.
Lamb went up for a one-handed catch in the end zone early in the third quarter and landed on the turf, hitting his head. In a frightening sight, he appeared to be in a swordsman’s stance trying to stretch out his arms. He was subsequently assessed on the sideline and then taken to the dressing room before being taken off the pitch.
When Lamb left, the Cowboys were down 27-9. A few plays later, Dallas scored on a Javonte Williams touchdown to cut the deficit to 27-16 on the ensuing extra point.
Lamb had six catches for 121 yards in the game.
Lamb missed three games earlier in the year with a severely sprained ankle. George Pickens picked up the slack brilliantly and will be called upon to do so again.
Dallas (6-5-1) is currently the No. 9 seed in the NFC playoff race, one spot behind Detroit. Before Thursday’s game, the team had a 12% playoff chance, which drops to 8% with a loss.
Lamb will now enter the concussion rule, putting his status in question for Week 15, as well.
