CeeDee Lamb clears concussion protocol, will play Sunday

After the Dallas Cowboys finished 2-1 in the hardest stretch of their schedule, they now get ready for a Sunday night game with the Vikings.

Good news is that they had a few extra days after playing on Thursday last week, meaning CeeDee Lamb got those days to clear concussion protocol and get himself ready for yet another major game this week.

Dallas also has a chance to see Trevon Diggs play again this week for the first time in over a month.

Take a look at the rest of the injury report below and see who has a chance to play for both teams.

Slim Chance

With the Eagles losing to the Chargers on Monday night, the Cowboys still have a slim chance of winning the NFC East, still back 1.5 games with 4 to play.

Dallas has to win out, clearly, and the Eagles have to lose two of the remaining games. They play the Raiders this week, and the Commanders twice and the Bills.

I trust the Bills to beat them, but can Dan Quinn do us all a favor and win one of those games with Jayden Daniels?

Before we can even think about that, the Cowboys need to handle their own business, because if they don’t, it won’t even matter.

CeeDee Lamb’s clearing protocol is huge for the offense though. The Vikings’ defense with Brain Flores is one of the better ones in the league, so they will have to handle the Dallas offense at full strength.

Ferguson is one to keep an eye on, if he does not play, expect Brevyn Spann-Ford to show us all a little something.

It will be a tough test either way for the Cowboys because, as you can see above, the only two players that the Vikings have on the report are a backup running back and their starting tackle.

Darrisaw will probably play, so the Vikings will be at full strength and J.J McCarthy played better last week in this first start since his concussion.

Their offense has not looked good. The Cowboys’ defense wakes everyone up. They are so bad.

I expect Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison to have good games, but at home I think the Cowboys are just the better football team.

They should win this game in the middle of the second half, with a final score of 31-20 and keep the pressure on the Eagles for the NFC East title.
