Dallas Cowboys WR Roster Battle: Rookie Anthony Smith and CeeDee Lamb

During the Cowboys' 2026 training camp, seventh‑round rookie wide receiver Anthony Smith has drawn attention for his speed, posting a 4.32‑second 40‑yard dash, and is projected by some analysts as the team's fifth receiver. Undrafted wideout Camden Brown also impressed in camp and is being considered for a practice‑squad spot.

Veteran receiver CeeDee Lamb, a five‑time Pro Bowler, addressed criticism over his drops from the previous season. Lamb said he will focus on fundamentals and even tried a beekeeper‑style net in practice to improve his catching. He recorded eight drops last year, tied for sixth most in the league, and aims to eliminate them as the Cowboys prepare for the upcoming season.
