The Dallas Cowboys have provided a massive injury update on wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.

Lamb entered this week as a major question mark after suffering a concussion in Week 14. However, it appears he's going to play in Week 15.

According to the Cowboys' officially injury report, Lamb was a full participant in practice on Thursday, which puts him on track to suit up.

There's no word that Lamb has officially been cleared from the concussion protocol yet, but a full practice is usually the final step and Lamb has now cleared that.

Lamb was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday, which was the first sign he had a chance to suit up this week. The full practice on Thursday all but confirms Lamb's status for Week 15.

This is a bit surprising, though.

After all, Lamb's concussion looked to be severe when it first occurred. After going into the "fencing response," which is usually a sign the concussion is even worse than normal, Lamb was immediately ruled out.

This is obviously huge news for the Cowboys, who need all hands on deck with their backs against the wall in terms of making the playoffs.

Dallas enters the week in second place in the NFC East and in the No. 10 spot in the wild-card standings. The New York Times Playoff Simulator gives Dallas an 11% chance to make the playoffs and a 9% chance to win the division.

Fantasy football owners who have stock in Lamb will also be thrilled to hear this news, as this is the week most leagues start their playoffs. Conversely, fantasy football owners going against Lamb won't be happy.

Lamb has had a tough season with injuries and drop issues, but he remains one of the best starting options at wide receiver in fantasy football.
