Fans arriving at AT&T Stadium on Saturday night will walk in with the expectation of not seeing quarterback Dak Prescott play. Not many of the big-named offensive stars are thought to be on the field for the preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens. However, Prescott is out there during warmups in full uniform.

Prescott was seen taking snaps alongside third-string quarterback Will Grier. Not seen in the video is Joe Milton, the quarterback Dallas will likely send out there for the entire game. An unusual move for somebody not playing in the game and maybe something to watch just ahead of kickoff.

“Dak Prescott isn’t playing tonight, but he is taking part in pregame warmups,” Jon Machota of The Athletic said via X. “Joe Milton is expected to play most of the game, if not all.”

Turns out, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is going through the same practice. He was spotted on the jumbotron in full pads during pregame warmups. Surrounded by the other wide receivers, Lamb was going through the drills he normally would.

For the time being, Lamb is still not expected to play against Baltimore. Hopefully, he is able to figure out a good spot to stand on the sideline, looking to avoid any possible collisions.

You have to imagine the final word on whether or not Prescott and Lamb plays will come in the coming minutes. It would be a surprise to see either of them, looking to remain healthy ahead of the Sept. 4 season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb avoids fine for collission with official

According to Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News, the NFL will not fine Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb after an official ran into him during a preseason game. Watkins says if the moment occurred during the regular season, the scenario might be different. But Lamb will escape losing any money.

“FYI The NFL will not fine CeeDee Lamb for interfering with an official,” Watkins said via X. “Last week the side judge ran into Lamb while covering a pass play. Normally when a player not in the game bumps into an official it’s a fine. Not this time.”

During the game, the Cowboys were hit with a 15-yard penalty due to Lamb’s actions. He was getting ahead of a deep pass thrown by Joe Milton, believing he would connect for a long play. Lamb kept his head down and an official came crashing into him.
