CeeDee Lamb has received fines totaling $25,324 for his actions during the Week 4 game against the New York Giants.

This includes $11,255 for taunting and $14,069 for an unsportsmanlike conduct violation related to a gesture interpreted as violent.

The specifics of the incident are somewhat ambiguous; during the game,

Lamb caught a pass and, while sitting on the field, appeared to either signal he had made a first down or mimicked a gunshot gesture.

Earlier this season, Lamb was also fined $22,511 for unnecessary roughness in Week 3, making this recent punishment particularly noteworthy.

October 3: Coach McCarthy’s Insights

In a press conference at The Star, Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy discussed several topics ahead of the team’s practice.

He described Steelers quarterback Justin Fields as “impressive,” emphasizing that Fields is more than just a running quarterback, contrary to common belief.

McCarthy also praised Steelers coach Mike Tomlin’s defense, calling their approach “old-style,” which reflects a strong foundation in traditional football fundamentals.

October 2: Injury Updates

The injury report for the Cowboys and Steelers includes starting cornerback Caelen Carson, who missed the previous game due to a shoulder issue but has been upgraded to “limited” in practice.

Young cornerback DaRon Bland is eligible to return from injured reserve this week.

While his return seems unlikely, he was seen working on the sidelines with trainers.

Notably absent from practice was Micah Parsons, who is dealing with an ankle injury.

DeMarcus Lawrence was not listed since he is on injured reserve, having been placed there due to ongoing foot issues.

Running back Dalvin Cook also missed practice because of an illness but is not included on the injury report since he is not on the 53-man roster.

For the Steelers, key players absent from practice included Nick Herbig, Jaylen Warren, and Cordarrelle Patterson.

October 1: New Signing

The Cowboys have signed pass-rusher K.J. Henry from the Bengals’ practice squad.

This move comes amidst speculation that the team might look for more prominent players to support the roster while Parsons and Lawrence are out.

However, the acquisition of Henry—a fifth-round rookie who recorded 1.5 sacks last year—is a more realistic adjustment. Standing at 6’5” and weighing 255 pounds, Henry will join the 53-man roster as per league rules.

September 29: DeMarcus Lawrence Update

Reports indicate that DeMarcus Lawrence is dealing with a Lisfranc injury in his right foot, which developed late in the Cowboys’ victory over the Giants. Fortunately, there were no displaced bones, and ESPN has reported that he won’t need surgery.

However, Lawrence is heading to injured reserve, with recovery expected to take around eight weeks, as noted by CowboysCountry.com.

September 19: Derek Carr Fined

Saints quarterback Derek Carr has been fined $14,000 for his touchdown celebration during the Week 2 game against the Cowboys, which resulted in a 44-19 defeat for Dallas.

Alvin Kamara stole the show that day with four touchdowns, but Carr also made a significant impact, throwing for 243 yards and two touchdowns, in addition to rushing for a touchdown.

After scoring, Carr celebrated with a Michael Jackson impersonation, complete with the iconic crotch grab, leading to his fine and earning him the title of “Smooth Criminal” in the NFL’s eye

The Dallas Cowboys are navigating through player fines and injuries as they prepare for their next matchup.

CeeDee Lamb’s recent fines for unsportsmanlike conduct have raised eyebrows, while Coach McCarthy emphasizes respect for opponents and a strong defensive foundation.

Injury reports highlight the challenges the team faces, particularly with key players sidelined.

The signing of K.J. Henry and updates on DeMarcus Lawrence’s recovery show the team’s ongoing adjustments.

Meanwhile, the NFL continues to impose fines for on-field behavior, reflecting the league’s stance on player conduct.
