Dallas Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb plans to return to action on Sunday, ending a three-game injury absence.
Lamb, recovering from a high left ankle sprain, took limited practice reps on Thursday for the second day in a row, then declared himself fit to oppose the visiting Washington Commanders this week.
“I feel like I’m moving around, running around being me,” Lamb said, according to ESPN. “Happy as can be, obviously, just believing in my ankle. Obviously, I feel like it’s back to where I needed it to be.”
Lamb believed he was ready to return last week to face the Carolina Panthers, a game the Cowboys (2-3-1) lost 30-27.
“I feel like that’s why we took an extra week just to make sure that I had that comfort,” he said, per ESPN. “Just to make sure that I had that same explosiveness, just to make sure that I had that same stability.”
Lamb, 26, amassed 16 catches for 222 yards through the first three weeks of the season before getting hurt against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 21.
A Pro Bowl selection each of the past four seasons, Lamb topped 1,100 receiving yards in all of those campaigns. In 84 career games (79 starts), he has 512 receptions for 6,561 yards and 38 touchdowns.
