The Dallas Cowboys opted not to play their two best wide receivers on the opening drive of Monday night’s contest against the Las Vegas Raiders.
CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens were benched to start the contest. According to ESPN’s Lisa Salters, Lamb and Pickens’ benching during the opening was a coach’s decision and was not injury-related. Both players were on the field for the Cowboys’ second drive.
According to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the two receivers were benched after “they missed some things.”
