CeeDee Lamb remains sidelined with an ankle sprain as the Cowboys lean on Dak Prescott and a reshaped receiving group to stay productive. Dallas ripped off 77 points over two games with Lamb out, and Prescott has delivered 7 TDs vs. 0 INT in that span. Lamb’s return remains murky, with Week 7 vs Washington highlighted as a potential comeback date, while Dallas heads to Carolina focused on maintaining the offensive surge without their star.

Meanwhile, Ryan Flournoy has stepped up in Lamb’s absence, flashing as a trusted option in a spread-friendly attack. Carolina’s home-soil kickoff gives the Cowboys a favorable backdrop to test depth, as the defense seeks to limit the Panthers and keep Prescott clean before Lamb reclaims his role.
