CeeDee Lamb Cleared After Unusual Sideline Collision as Cowboys Tighten Protocols

Cowboys receiver was uninjured after an official knocked him over during the preseason game, prompting Dallas to tighten sideline discipline ahead of upcoming matchups.

Overview

  • Lamb, dressed in street clothes and not in uniform, wandered into the restricted white border area and was accidentally knocked to the turf by a sprinting official.
  • The collision drew a rare 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for sideline interference that erased part of a 51-yard Rams gain.
  • Cowboys medical staff sent Lamb for precautionary X-rays amid a back-injury scare, but he was soon cleared with no lingering effects.
  • Head coach Brian Schottenheimer criticized the lapse in sideline discipline, insisting the team “has to be better than that” in respecting restricted areas.
  • Lamb posted the viral clip on social media with the caption “I feel like everyone needs a laugh,” turning a bizarre moment into comic relief.
