He added: “He will undergo treatment and rehabilitation for his shoulder, and it is not currently expected that he will need surgery, and he is expected to fully recover.”
Lamb was diagnosed with an AC joint strain in Week 9, but played through it as Dallas continued trying to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Although Dallas won Tampa Bay Buccaneers Last week, the Cowboys were eliminated from contention in the playoffs.
So, with no playoff appearances on the horizon, the Cowboys want to make sure Lamb doesn't get hurt any further and begin the process with a full recovery in mind by 2025.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones addressed Lamb's situation on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday.
“We'll leave it up to the player,” Jones said. It is not known what Lamb said in this decision to close it for the rest of the year.
Lamb discussed his injury this week, saying “my shoulder is out of control” after their 26-24 win over the Bucs.
“I'm fighting and doing what I have to do,” Lamb said.

Lamb, whom the Cowboys signed to a contract extension in the offseason, had his fourth straight season with 1,110 or more receiving yards after hauling in 101 receptions for 1,194 yards with six touchdowns in 15 games.
Lamb didn't have Dak Prescott throwing to him all season because the franchise quarterback, who also received a contract extension in the offseason, suffered a season-ending injury earlier this season against the Atlanta Falcons.
However, Lamb found some chemistry with Cooper Rush, Prescott's backup, who took over. The Cowboys have won four of their last five games, but at 7-8 with two games remaining, that's not enough to get into the NFC playoffs.
