Dallas Cowboys Decide CeeDee Lamb Injured Reserve Status Amid Key Injuries

The Dallas Cowboys are facing a challenging Week 4 matchup against the Green Bay Packers without star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who is sidelined due to a high ankle sprain. Lamb's injury, sustained during Week 3 against the Chicago Bears, is expected to keep him out for three to four weeks, and the team will decide next week whether to place him on injured reserve, which would sideline him for a minimum of four games. Alongside Lamb, rookie right guard Tyler Booker is also nursing a high ankle sprain and is out for the Packers game, with his return timeline similarly uncertain. Despite these setbacks, the Cowboys remain optimistic, with offensive coordinator Klayton Adams emphasizing the expectation for other players to step up, including George Pickens and KaVontae Turpin, who are expected to take on larger roles in Lamb's absence. Meanwhile, key defensive players Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland are expected to play, providing some stability on defense. The absence of Lamb, a primary offensive weapon, notably impacts the Cowboys' passing game, making the upcoming game critical as the team tries to avoid a 1-3 start that would significantly hinder their postseason chances.
