Cowboys Cite Curfew Breach and Missed Bus in Brief Benching of Lamb and Pickens

Latest messaging separates causes: curfew for Lamb, game-day bus for Pickens.

Overview

  • CeeDee Lamb told reporters he and George Pickens broke team curfew in Las Vegas, while rejecting a viral claim that he was seen vomiting at a casino.
  • Executive vice president Stephen Jones said Pickens missed the team bus to Allegiant Stadium, adding a separate reason to coach Brian Schottenheimer’s earlier note that “things were missed.”
  • After sitting the opening series, both receivers returned in a 33–16 win over the Raiders, with Pickens posting 9 catches for 144 yards and a touchdown and Lamb adding 66 yards and a score.
  • Owner Jerry Jones criticized players going out the night before games, calling road trips a business trip.
  • Schottenheimer praised the duo’s impact and voiced support for keeping Pickens long term, while Pickens said he’d love to stay as his free agency approaches.
