LAS VEGAS -- Dallas Cowboys wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens were kept on the bench for the first series of Monday night's 33-16 win against the Las Vegas Raiders in what the team said was a coach's decision.
The team said both receivers "missed some things" leading into the game, which led to their absence.
Lamb returned on the first play of the Cowboys' second series; Pickens was in for the second play of that series.
Lamb finished with 5 catches for 66 yards and a touchdown, while Pickens had 9 receptions for 144 yards and a 37-yard TD.
On Thursday, coach Brian Schottenheimer had longer than normal greetings with both receivers during the stretching period of practice. Schottenheimer was expected to address the issue after the game.
Pickens leads the Cowboys in receiving with 58 catches for 908 yards and seven touchdowns. Lamb has 40 catches for 557 yards and two touchdowns, but he missed three games with a high ankle sprain.
