Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb missed all of the team’s offseason workouts, the entire training camp, and every single preseason game as a result of his contract holdout. But it doesn’t sound like he’s all that worried about how it will affect him heading into the regular season.
CeeDee Lamb officially signed his contract this week, ending his lengthy holdout with the Cowboys after agreeing to a new deal to keep him in Dallas for the foreseeable future. And even though he has not been able to prepare with the team, he made it clear that he is “ready to go to battle” this season and that he feels “more prepared than ever.”
“Quite honestly, I don’t think it’s gonna be a step behind, at all — I’m ready,” Lamb said according to the Dallas Cowboys team website. “I’ve played this game my whole life. I gotta get bumped a little bit. Those are things, contact violence, but I trained for those. I feel like I’m more prepared than ever.”
The Cowboys open their season on Sept. 8 with a showdown against the Cleveland Browns. That gives Lamb 13 days between when he signed his new contract and the start of the season.
