ARLINGTON, Texas — There was plenty for the Dallas Cowboys (5-7) to be grateful for on Thanksgiving Day, winning their first home game of the season in a 27-20 victory over the New York Giants (2-10). Thursday night also marked the eighth consecutive victory over the Giants and 15th in their last 16 matchups.
However, Dallas did also receive some bad news: 2023 All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb reinjured his shoulder.

Lamb fell on his shoulder three times in Week 9 at the Atlanta Falcons, and he powered though the injury to stay in the game that day. When discussing his health on Tuesday prior to the win over the Giants, he made it clear his shoulder nor any other nagging injury would keep him off the football field this season.
“I’m banged up, I ain’t even going to lie to you,” Lamb said Tuesday. “It is what it is bro. It’s that time of the year in the season. I ain’t going to get [into] any specifics, but we straight. As far as for me, the pride is unbelievable.

I’m all for the team winning, if you can’t tell by now. … This is definitely one of the toughest years for me body-wise, but that ain’t stopping nothing. That’s for sure.”
