CeeDee Lamb injury update
Lamb has been ruled out for the remainder of the game due to a concussion. On the replay, while it looked like his weight fell on his left arm/elbow, his head hit the ground hard.
Lamb initially went into the medical tent. The "Thursday Night Football" broadcast showed him standing outside of it and favoring his elbow. It turns out that that wasn't his injury, and he was being checked for a concussion.

The only good news for the Cowboys about Lamb being ruled out is that, statistically, he isn't their best receiver. That honor lies with Pickens, who came into Week 14 with 1,142 yards and eight touchdowns through 12 games. Part of his success, though, has been playing opposite Lamb, so it will be interesting to see how he can adjust to being the WR1 for the rest of Week 14 at least.
The added bad news about Lamb being out is that Dallas' wide receiver depth is tanked. After Pickens, the Cowboys only have three other wide receivers active for the game. Turpin is a special teams specialist, but can show off his speed when he gets into space.

One bright spot has been Flournoy. He saw a role increase with Lamb getting hurt, even hauling in a 42-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.
