Dallas Cowboys star CeeDee Lamb sat out the team’s first preseason game of 2025 against the Los Angeles Rams and still, somehow, managed to find some action.
Lamb was on the sideline when he started to celebrate wide receiver Jonathan Mingo blowing past a few Rams defensive backs to get wide open on a play in the second quarter. However, Lamb turned his back and a sideline official ran into him.

Neither the official nor Lamb expected what happened. Both men were helped up and neither appeared injured.
« It’s sideline interference. CeeDee Lamb was standing in the restricted white border area, which is our area to officiate the game. The official on the play was focused solely on doing his job, and he ran into CeeDee Lamb, who was standing in that restricted area, » referee Alex Moore told a pool reporter, via CBS Sports.
« That’s what happened. And with that contact, it’s an automatic foul. »

The Cowboys were penalized for Lamb’s action.
Los Angeles ended up winning the game, 31-21. Stetson Bennett IV had 188 passing yards and two touchdown passes. Blake Corum ran for two more touchdowns.
Cowboys quarterback Joe Milton III had 143 passing yards and a touchdown pass. Will Grier was 2-of-3 passing and had a rushing touchdown.
Lamb may not see too much time, if at all, in preseason action. He’s the team’s No. 1 receiver.
He was named to the Pro Bowl for the fourth time in 2024. He had 101 catches for 1,194 yards and six touchdown catches.
