Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb Sidelined 2-4 Weeks with High Ankle Sprain

The Dallas Cowboys face a significant challenge as star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb suffered a high ankle sprain in their recent loss to the Chicago Bears, sidelining him for at least two to four weeks. Lamb, a key offensive player with 222 receiving yards this season, attempted to return briefly during the game but was unable to continue, prompting concerns over the Cowboys' offensive capabilities in his absence. The team is taking a cautious approach to his recovery, opting not to place him on injured reserve immediately, with updates expected over the next 10 to 14 days regarding his status. Lamb's injury leaves a gap that other players, notably George Pickens, are expected to fill, although the Cowboys are currently struggling with a 1-2 record and a defense that has underperformed in the early season. While the injury could impact the team's upcoming games, including a critical matchup against the Green Bay Packers, the prognosis is that Lamb will likely return later in the season to bolster Dallas' offense. The Cowboys remain hopeful that the injury, though serious, will not derail their season entirely, emphasizing patience and careful monitoring of Lamb's progress.
