Dallas, TX – After the game, Prescott spoke to reporters with a heavy voice, clearly still affected by what he witnessed on the field.
“Seeing him go down like that… that’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen on a football field,” Prescott said.
“I’ve played this game a long time, but that moment stopped me cold. CeeDee isn’t just a teammate — he’s like a little brother to me.”
Prescott was one of the first players to sprint toward Lamb as medical staff rushed onto the field. Several teammates reportedly froze in place, visibly shaken as Lamb lay motionless, his arms stiffened — a sign of significant neurological trauma.

Head coach Mike McCarthy addressed the media shortly after, making it clear that Dallas will prioritize Lamb’s long-term health above everything else.
“There’s not a single game worth risking CeeDee’s future. His well-being is No. 1. That’s it.”
Lamb has officially been placed in the NFL’s Concussion Protocol, beginning a multi-step evaluation process. The team has not yet provided a timeline for his return.
Inside the Locker Room: “Dak Was Shaken — More Than Anyone”
A Cowboys player, speaking anonymously, described the emotional scene:
“Nobody cared about the score anymore. Everyone was worried about whether he was breathing okay. Dak was hit the hardest — that’s CeeDee’s guy, the closest bond on this team.”
According to team sources, Prescott stayed beside Lamb the entire time until trainers transported him off the field.

But Prescott didn’t hesitate:
“I don’t care how long he needs — I just want him fully healthy. We’ll figure out the rest.”

Updates Expected Within 24–48 Hours
The Cowboys expect to have more clarity soon as Lamb undergoes neurological testing and symptom evaluation.
Prescott summed up the team’s mindset perfectly:
“CeeDee is one of the toughest guys I know. He’ll come back — but he doesn’t need to rush a thing. We’ve got his back.”
