Lamb was limited in practice early in the week, but received good news as the week wound down.

This season, Lamb has already missed several games due to injury, appearing in only 10 of the team's 13 games, which has limited him to 57 catches for 865 yards and just three touchdowns.

However, before his injury in the loss to the Lions on Thursday night, Lamb was having an incredible half, hauling in six catches on eight targets for 121 yards.

Despite appearing in only 10 games, Lamb has five games with more than 100 yards receiving, tied with Ja’Marr Chase and Drake London for the second-most 100-yard games this season. Seattle Seahawks star Jaxson Smith-Njigba has the most this season with eight.
