Will CeeDee Lamb play this week vs Bengals? Cowboys wide receiver clears the air ahead of Monday Night Football

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb can't get himself out of the injury report. Since Week 9, he's dealt with a shoulder injury that's bothered him. So far, he's fought through it to be on the field and he has yet to miss a game this season. 

On Thursday's opening injury report, he was listed as a non-participant. 

However, if we take Lamb's word for it, Cowboys fans have nothing to worry about as far as his availability for the primetime matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals goes. 

"Still have the shoulder injury, which I've been dealing with for about four or five weeks now, it comes with the territory, man," Lamb told reporters on Monday. "It's about being a baller, and it's about going out there, sacrificing, and putting yourself out there for your guys. That's what I'm doing, and as far as Monday goes, I'll be fine by then."

Lamb has become an even more important player to the Cowboys following Dak Prescott's season-ending injury, emerging as a locker room leader and fighting for yards after contact to provide a spark to the offense. 

Going into Week 14, he'll have some extra motivation as he had three drops in the Cowboys' Thanksgiving win against the New York Giants. He knows that can't happen again. 

The good news is Lamb believes an 11-day rest between last game and Monday will help him be ready. 

"The first couple days were tough, to say the least, but right now I mean I have my range of motion, and I have my strength back," Lamb said. 

The Cowboys injury report is a lengthy one going into a tough matchup against the high-powered Cincinnati Bengals. It includes starting left tackle Tyler Guyton as a non participant while Trevon Diggs and DeMarvion Overshown were both limited with a knee and hamstring injury, respectively.
