Injury Details
The Dallas Cowboys suffered a major blow in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears.
CeeDee Lamb, their star wide receiver, left the game with a left ankle injury.
He lined up as a running back and tried to bounce outside.
A tackle hit his ankle awkwardly, forcing him to leave the field.
Lamb walked off on his own, but he clearly felt the pain.
The training staff examined him on the bench before sending him to the medical tent.
Questionable Return
Lamb returned for one play in the second quarter, but he still struggled.
The Cowboys pulled him at halftime, ending his day.
Season Context
This injury worries the Cowboys.
Lamb battled a shoulder injury during the second half of last season.
He entered this game hot, with back-to-back 100-yard receiving games and four straight strong performances dating back to last season.
In this game, Lamb only touched the ball on the carry where he got hurt.
He didn’t catch a single pass.
Silver Lining
Lamb walked around on the sideline without major trouble.
He didn’t head straight to the locker room, which suggests the injury might not be severe.
The Cowboys now focus on preparing him for their next game against the Green Bay Packers at AT&T Stadium.
They need Lamb on the field to make a deep playoff run.
