His presence was greatly mi sed in the 19-9 lo s to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in Week 11, and now will potentially be without as well on Thursday, after Lamb's head banged against the turf at Arrowhead Stadium on the final play of the first half.The result of the play was Prescott's first of two interceptions but, more importantly, Lamb never returned to
