Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was a full participant in Thursday's practice but has not yet cleared concussion protocol, he said in the locker room following the workout.

Lamb is wearing a protection Guardian cap over his helmet and remains optimistic he'll be cleared to play Sunday night when Dallas welcomes the Minnesota Vikings. His level of participation was an uptick from a limited workout Wednesday.

Lamb said he believes he's ready to play in what sets up as a veritable must-win for the Cowboys (6-6-1) in a tightly packed NFC playoff race.

"It's not like you are thinking about what if," Lamb said.

Tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) went from limited Wednesday to not practicing Thursday, raising concern about his availability on Sunday. Left tackle Tyler Guyton (ankle) also missed Thursday's practice.

Lamb left the Cowboys' loss to the Lions in the third quarter last Thursday with a concussion only after catching six passes for 121 yards, his second consecutive 100-yard game.

He has 57 catches for 865 yards and three touchdowns in 2025 in 10 games. Lamb missed three games -- against the Packers, Jets and Panthers -- with a high ankle sprain.
