CeeDee Lamb's Injury Update

The Dallas Cowboys faced a significant blow during their 31-14 loss to the Chicago Bears when wide receiver CeeDee Lamb left the game with an ankle injury. However, following the game, Lamb expressed optimism, stating he "absolutely" feels he can compete against the Green Bay Packers in Week 4.

Injury Details

Lamb's injury occurred in the first quarter when Bears linebacker Noah Sewell accidentally rolled over his ankle during a tackle. Although the play was nullified due to offsetting penalties, the impact was significant enough to sideline Lamb temporarily.

Despite initially being ruled out for the game, Lamb made a brief return in the second quarter. Unfortunately, he lasted just one play before needing to exit again. Reports indicated that his ankle was swollen and showed a close-up on the Fox broadcast.

Team Response

After the game, team owner Jerry Jones reassured fans that the injury may not be as severe as it seems. Lamb will undergo an MRI on Monday to assess the damage. He leads the team with 16 catches and 222 receiving yards this season but has yet to score a touchdown.

The Cowboys, entering Sunday’s match with a 1-1 record after a previous victory over the New York Giants, are hoping for a quick recovery for Lamb. He is a key component of the Cowboys' offense, heavily relied upon by star quarterback Dak Prescott.

In Lamb's absence, fellow wideout George Pickens will need to step up and lead the receiving corps. The team's hopes ride on an optimistic prognosis for Lamb as they prepare for a critical matchup against the Packers.
