CeeDee Lamb's Quad Injury Is Just a Bruise, per ProFootballTalk

Good news out of Dallas: Lamb's injury isn't serious, but his questionable tag means monitor him through the week.

CeeDee Lamb's quad injury is just a bruise, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer confirmed Friday that Lamb was in and out of the game on the final drive but that the injury is not serious. Dallas doesn't play again until Oct. 18, giving Lamb extra recovery time before the Cowboys' next game.

Lamb is currently listed as questionable, but the "only a bruise" diagnosis is about as good as injury news gets. The extra week of rest before Oct. 18 meaningfully reduces the risk he's limited or held out. In redraft leagues, hold steady — don't overreact to the questionable tag by selling low. In dynasty, nothing here changes his long-term value at all. Keep an eye on his designation as that game approaches, but right now there's no reason to panic.
