The Dallas Cowboys are hopeful their star wide receiver, CeeDee Lamb, will return for Week 7 against the Washington Commanders. Lamb has missed three consecutive games due to a high-ankle sprain, but recent developments suggest he could be back on the field, giving Dallas a major boost for its offensive game plan.

Lamb’s recovery has been closely monitored by the Cowboys’ medical staff. Last week, he started working on a side field, a key step in evaluating his readiness for game action. On Wednesday, head coach Brian Schottenheimer confirmed that Lamb was “very involved” in the team’s walkthrough and will practice for the first time since his injury, signaling strong progress toward returning against Washington.This update aligns with reports from NFL insiders. Todd Archer of ESPN noted Lamb’s active participation in practice, while NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and Cowboys executives Stephen and Jerry Jones expressed optimism about his availability. Stephen Jones stated that Lamb, along with wide receiver KaVontae Turpin and right guard Tyler Booker, all “have a chance” to play Sunday, pending full practice participation.The Cowboys’ offense has adapted in Lamb’s absence, with George Pickens stepping up as the primary target. However, Lamb’s return would restore Dallas’ top receiving weapon, giving quarterback Dak Prescott a reliable and explosive option in the passing game. A healthy Lamb could dramatically change the dynamic of the Cowboys’ Week 7 matchup, improving both the passing attack and red-zone efficiency.

A successful return would not only benefit the team but also impact fantasy football lineups and betting odds for the matchup.With momentum building around Lamb’s potential comeback, Dallas looks poised to strengthen its offense and keep its playoff aspirations alive. Week 7 could mark the return of one of the NFL’s most dynamic wide receivers, and the Cowboys are counting on him to make an immediate impact. A healthy Lamb on the field could also shift fantasy football dynamics and give Dallas a critical edge against Washington.Also Read: CeeDee Lamb injury status: Rehab progress signals early comeback for Cowboys’ star WR
