Cowboys Clarify Benching of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens After Raiders Win

Dallas says the receivers were disciplined for separate infractions.

Overview

  • Executive vice president Stephen Jones said George Pickens was sat for missing the game-day team bus, while CeeDee Lamb was punished for breaking curfew.
  • Lamb told reporters he and Pickens stayed out past a 10 p.m. curfew in Las Vegas and he rejected a viral claim that he was seen vomiting outside a casino.
  • Both wideouts reentered on the second series and combined for 210 yards and two touchdowns in a 33-16 victory over the Raiders.
  • Head coach Brian Schottenheimer stressed equal standards and praised their response, and Jerry Jones said road trips should be treated as business trips.
  • With Pickens nearing free agency, reporting indicates the Cowboys could consider a franchise tag worth about $28 million, and Pickens said he would love to remain in Dallas.
