CeeDee Lamb is still working to get back to full speed and into playing shape after his holdout lasted through the duration of the NFL preseason, but Dallas Cowboys fans should not be concerned.
According to head coach Mike McCarthy, the star wide receiver will be on a “pitch count” aka snap count to start the week of practice.
However, he is expected to be a full go for the team’s Week 1 showdown against the Cleveland Browns to kick off the 2024 NFL regular season.
“I feel like we’ll be where we need to be by the end of the week,” McCarthy told the media.
Lamb’s holdout ultimately played out in his favor.
The All-Pro signed a four-year, $136 million contract extension that includes $100 million in guaranteed money. Lamb’s $38 million signing bonus is the most ever for a wide receiver in league history.
He was working out on his own in Houston during his holdout, but the Cowboys will slowly work him up to speed in anticipation of Sunday’s season opener.
Dallas will kick off its 2024 campaign on Sunday, September 8, on the road against the Cleveland Browns. Tom Brady will be making his broadcasting debut for the game on FOX.
