The Dallas Cowboys are flirting with being eliminated from the playoffs.

Heading into Week 16, the Cowboys have a 1% chance to make the playoffs. Dallas would need to win their final three games of the season, while the Philadelphia Eagles would have to lose their final three games.

While the Cowboys are trying to overcome the near-impossible feat of making the playoffs, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb went down.

Lamb is dealing with an illness that kept him out of practice on Wednesday. After missing practice on Wednesday, the Cowboys star made an off-field appearance, being involved in position and team meetings ahead of the Los Angeles Chargers game.

"CeeDee Lamb (illness) was not on the practice field for the second straight day, but he was involved in the meetings this morning. DaRon Bland (foot) is absent for the second straight day as well."
