CeeDee Lamb suffers high ankle sprain, expected to miss at least 3 weeks

Well, if this Monday morning was not bad enough already, official news just dropped that CeeDee Lamb will likely miss at least a couple of games.

Reports this afternoon that Lamb suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday’s loss to the Bears that makes him unlikely to play Sunday night vs. the Packers and is looking to be out the next three to four weeks.

The Cowboys want to see how Lamb is doing in the next 10–14 days, but that is not going to help. He will still miss the time.

Let me also say this, it bothers me even more that this happened because they lined him up at running back.

Oh Boy

Well, if you thought it was bad, it just got even worse. I think they fall to 1-and-3 after this week against the Packers, or shock everyone like the Browns did and pull off the upset.

Without CeeDee Lamb, it becomes Goerge Pickens and everyone else. The running game will likely take a bit of a hit because they don’t have to worry about very good wide outs.

Stephen Jones during a Monday appearance on 105.3 The Fan said Lamb expressed optimism after Sunday’s loss that he would be able to play against the Packers in Week 4, but there is no chance of that happening.

Jones said that there’s been no determination about his status in either direction at this point, but since then others have come out and said that he will likely miss at least two games.

So as it stands, the Cowboys will be without Lamb on Sunday night against the Packers, and on the road against the Jets and Panthers, two teams that they should beat without Lamb and if they don’t, it is time to have a legit conversation about what is going on.

Turpin is likely to see a lot more work, same with Jalen Tolbert, so the next month and change are going to tell us a lot about this team.

We said they needed to get a guy like Pickens if this were to happen. Well, Dak Prescott, it is time to go make your money now, dude, because without Lamb it is going to be tough enough, as we saw against the Bears yesterday.

The team did say that they do not plan to place him on IR, but a major problem is still going to happen without him.
