Dallas Cowboys’ Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens Provide Updates Amidst Chargers Game
Dallas, Texas – During the Dallas Cowboys’ recent game against the Los Angeles Chargers on December 21, 2025, quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, and newly acquired receiver George Pickens shared insights into their health and team dynamics. Despite a 34-17 loss to the Chargers, the trio’s updates offer a glimpse into the team’s current status and future prospects.
Injury Updates
CeeDee Lamb sustained a concussion during the Cowboys’ Week 14 game against the Detroit Lions on December 5, 2025. He exited the game in the third quarter after a hard landing while attempting a catch. Following the game, head coach Brian Schottenheimer confirmed that Lamb would enter the concussion protocol. Prior to the injury, Lamb had recorded six receptions for 121 yards, bringing his season totals to 57 catches for 865 yards and three touchdowns. Remarkably, Lamb returned to action just ten days later, participating in the Week 15 game against the Minnesota Vikings on December 14, 2025, where he caught six passes for 111 yards.
George Pickens, acquired from the Pittsburgh Steelers in the offseason, has been adjusting to his new role with the Cowboys. In the Week 14 game against the Lions, Pickens caught five of nine targets for 37 yards, a performance that fell short of expectations given Lamb’s absence. However, Pickens has shown promise throughout the season, including a standout performance in Week 6 against the Washington Commanders, where he recorded nine receptions for 168 yards and a touchdown.
Team Dynamics and Future Outlook
Despite the challenges posed by injuries, the Cowboys’ offense has demonstrated resilience. Prescott, who is fully recovered from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for part of the previous season, has expressed confidence in his chemistry with both Lamb and Pickens. He highlighted the difficulty defenses face when trying to double-team both receivers, emphasizing the strategic advantage this presents for the Cowboys.
Looking ahead, the Cowboys are focused on integrating Pickens more effectively into their offensive scheme. The coaching staff is working on enhancing the timing and execution between Prescott and Pickens, aiming to leverage their growing rapport to strengthen the passing game. With Lamb’s return and Pickens’ continued development, the Cowboys are optimistic about their offensive prospects in the remaining weeks of the season.
Conclusion
While the Cowboys’ recent loss to the Chargers was a setback, the updates from Prescott, Lamb, and Pickens provide a positive outlook.
