Dallas Cowboys starting wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens didn't take the field to start Monday's game against the host Las Vegas Raiders because of a disciplinary matter all parties are keeping undisclosed.
'It's tough. Made a coach's decision, some things that were missed,' Dallas coach Brian Schottenheimer said after his team's 33-16 victory. 'Had a conversation with those guys that was easy. You look with the energy those guys play with, they jump-started the offense when they got back in there. That's why I love those guys, again, this was a great team win.'
When asked what exactly was 'missed,' Schottenheimer was quick with a response.
'A couple of things missed,' he said.
Neither wide receiver seemed intent on talking about the issue.
'Not going into depth on that honestly,' Lamb said. 'I'm not. I'm sorry. I'm not.'
Pickens chose a different path, saying that he wasn't on the field because of a defensive alignment by the Raiders. When informed that Schottenheimer said it was a disciplinary issue, Pickens declared 'that's between me and Schotty.'
Lamb and Pickens returned for Dallas' second drive. Pickens reeled in a 12-yard catch during the Cowboys' third possession and Lamb capped the team's fourth with an 18-yard touchdown reception early in the second quarter.
Pickens had nine catches for 144 yards and one touchdown and Lamb added five receptions for 66 yards and a score.
The Cowboys (4-5-1) return to action at home against the NFC East-rival Philadelphia Eagles (8-2) on Sunday afternoon.
