Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb suffered a concussion during the team's 44-30 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 14 that saw the team fall to 6-6-1.
Despite the scary-looking injury in which he appeared to be knocked unconscious, Lamb returned to practice this week for the Cowboys ahead of a must-win game against the Minnesota Vikings. In a conversation with reporters on Thursday, Lamb detailed the process of returning from a concussion.
“The process has been cool,” Lamb said yesterday. “Obviously it’s been a lot of eye work and eye discipline and trying to, I guess, frustrate myself essentially to see if I have any more residuals of the concussion and if I had any type of symptoms. As for me now, it’s been heavy on rest, to be honest. Doing everything, me knowing my requirements, kind of getting ahead of everything, especially with the extra 2-3 days that we had off, I feel like that was big.”

Those extra 2-3 days off appear to have paid dividends for Lamb, who cleared concussion protocol, according to Cowboys insider Jon Machota. Lamb is expected to be back on the field for Sunday night's game against the Vikings, per the report.
When asked if he was concerned about taking hits following the concussion, Lamb made it clear that's not how he plays the game.
"Nah, in a situation like that, bro, as far as getting hurt or getting a concussion, it's not like you're thinking about, 'Oh, what if? What if I get hurt again?'" Lamb said. "I feel like if you live in that realm and you feed that fuel it's going to happen. And you don't want to live in a realm like that it's never going to happen again. Really, it's [about] staying level, just being positive about each and every opportunity you get and just staying blessed."
Dallas and Minnesota kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
