Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb admitted Tuesday that he's fighting through injuries to remain on the field.

"I'm banged up, I'm not even going to lie to you," Lamb said, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. "I'm willing to do whatever, to go out there and do whatever to have my presence felt. … I'm all for the team winning, as you can tell."

He added: "This is definitely one of the toughest years for me body-wise. But that ain't stopping nothing. That's for sure."

Lamb is dealing with back and foot ailments heading into the Cowboys' Thanksgiving contest against the New York Giants. He was listed as a limited participant in Monday and Tuesday's practices but is expected to suit up this week.

The 25-year-old has been on Dallas' injury report since Week 9 with various ailments, including a shoulder injury he suffered against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Cowboys were able to keep their slim playoff hopes alive with a victory over Washington on Sunday. They are two games back in the loss column of the seventh-seeded Commanders and have the ninth-easiest schedule to finish the season, according to opponents' win percentage, per Tankathon.

Lamb is producing solid numbers despite backup signal-caller Cooper Rush starting the last three games. The Oklahoma product leads the NFL in receptions (77) and boasts 841 receiving yards and four touchdowns.

Rush, who is on the injury report with a knee injury, says he's good to go and is expected to get his fourth straight start, according to Jane Slater of NFL Network.
