Cowboys' reason for benching CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens vs. Raiders revealed

The Dallas Cowboys' first offensive series in exactly 14 days was a brutal watch. It would've helped having CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens on the field.

It was a bizarre development, as neither Lamb nor Pickens carried an injury designation this week. ESPN sideline reporter Lisa Salters swiftly ruled out that their absences were injury-related.

Cowboys reporters did some digging and discovered that it was disciplinary, with Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram noting that Lamb and Pickens "missed some things."
