CeeDee Lamb’s Week-2 Explosion Triggers Random NFL Drug Test

Lamb’s Dominant Week 2 Showing and NFL Drug Test

In the Cowboys’ 37-20 victory over the Washington Commanders, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb recorded eight receptions for 153 yards and two touchdowns, including a record-setting connection with quarterback Dak Prescott. Moments after the game, the NFL summoned Lamb for a random drug test, a routine part of the league’s anti-doping program that does not imply wrongdoing. Cowboys reporter Patrik Walker posted video of Lamb walking through the AT&T Stadium tunnels to submit his sample.

Background: Recent Performance History

Lamb’s Week 2 output marked a sharp rise from his season-opening loss to the New York Giants, where he logged five catches for 44 yards and one touchdown. The 2025 campaign ended with 75 receptions for 1,077 yards and three touchdowns—figures below his career averages. This is not Lamb’s first post-game testing request; after a 13-reception, 227-yard effort against the Detroit Lions in 2024, he also faced a random test.

Official Statements & Responses

Prescott, celebrating his own franchise record of 249 career touchdown passes, emphasized the team’s momentum rather than the test itself.
