Is CeeDee Lamb playing tonight? Latest on Cowboys WR for Week 16 game vs Buccaneers

CeeDee Lamb is one of the premier wide receivers in the National Football League. The Dallas Cowboys wideout is no stranger to 1,000-yard seasons and Pro Bowl appearances on America's team.

Let's explore Lamb's availability ahead of his side's Week 16 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Is CeeDee Lamb playing tonight?

Yes, CeeDee Lamb is playing tonight against the in-form Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Lamb has shaken off a shoulder injury to be in prime position to lead his side in the vital NFC game.

Entering Week 16, Lamb was on the injury report due to a lingering shoulder injury. However, he practiced fully with the side on Friday and enters the game without a designation.

While Lamb is set to feature, the same can't be said about star cornerback Trevon Diggs. The perennial Pro Bowler is dealing with a knee injury and missed every training session in the leadup to tonight's game. Furthermore, guard TJ Bass (thigh), linebacker Eric Kendricks (personal), LB Nick Vigil (foot), cornerback Jourdan Lewis (elbow), and safety Juanyeh Thomas (knee) are all listed as questionable.

How is CeeDee Lamb performing this season?

CeeDee Lamb has surpassed the 1,000-yard mark this season and still has three games to play. The All-Pro wideout is among the few bright spots in a forgettable season for the Dallas Cowboys.

Entering Week 16, Lamb has amassed a stat line of 94 catches (third in the league), 1,089 receiving yards (also third), and six touchdowns. He leads the Dallas Cowboys in every significant receiving statistical category. Expect Lamb to put up another solid showing against the Todd Bowles-coached Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Cowboys are currently out of the playoff picture. The NFC powerhouse enters Week 16 with a 6-8 record, and they've been unable to string together a good run of form for most of the year. They'll be up against a Bucs side that is currently riding a four-game winning streak at the business end of the season. Mike McCarthy's side will need Lamb and his other stars to come with their A-game in this must-win fixture.
