Stephen Jones Expects Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb Return Within Two Weeks

CeeDee Lamb, the Dallas Cowboys' star wide receiver, is recovering from a high-ankle sprain sustained in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears and is expected to return within the next two weeks, according to team executive Stephen Jones. This timeline suggests Lamb could be back for the Week 6 game against the Carolina Panthers or by Week 7 against the Washington Commanders. Despite Lamb's absence, the Cowboys' offense has remained strong, scoring 40 and 37 points in the past two games, with other receivers like George Pickens stepping up notably. Fellow wide receiver KaVontae Turpin is also expected to return within the same timeframe after a foot injury. The Cowboys have avoided placing Lamb on injured reserve, indicating optimism about his recovery and the team's near full health soon. Lamb's potential return is seen as a crucial boost for Dallas’ offensive firepower as they aim to maintain competitiveness in the NFC East.
