It has been a tough season for Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.

While Lamb remains an elite wideout, he has struggled with injury and drops this season, and he even got himself benched for a drive earlier in the season.

Lamb's tough season is continuing early on in the Week 17 game against the Washington Commanders, as he has been quiet thus far.

Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is CeeDee Lamb playing today?

Yes, Lamb is active and healthy in Week 17.

Lamb was targeted on a deep ball from quarterback Dak Prescott on the opening drive that would have been a touchdown if Prescott had gotten the pass further down the field.

Lamb finally got on the board with his first catch on the second drive, but it only went for five yards.

Part of the problem for Lamb early on is the Cowboys have gone run-heavy, and Prescott has completed just five passes in total.

Hopefully Lamb gets going soon.
