Dallas Cowboys are expected to be without star -wide receiver Ceedee Lamb for several weeks.
Lamb, Quarterback Dak Prescott’s top target, suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday’s loss to Chicago Bears. The damage could sideline him three to four weeks, according to ESPN.
Stephen Jones, Cowboys’ Executive Vice President and son of owner Jerry Jones, told 105.3 fan in Dallas that the team still needs to evaluate Lamb’s condition, but admitted that it doesn’t look promising.
“I think we have to evaluate the full thing and see how he moves around as the day goes on,” Jones said. “Certainly, he has the high ankle sprain, and every one of them is different. We would very much like him back to Green Bay, but at the same time we also understood the damage is what it is and we want to play it out.”

Dallas is facing Packers on Sunday in a highly expected matchup considering Blockbuster Micah Parson’s trade between the two teams before the 2025 season.

Lamb said the damage is “absolutely” something he thinks he could play through. He was wounded in the first quarter when Bears Linebacker Noah Sewell fell over both legs during a rushing attempt. Replay showed Lamb’s ankle riding awkwardly before walking gently off the field and into the medical tent.

He turned back short to run a route, but went out too well. After the game, he was seen wearing a hiking boot. An MRI of Monday confirmed the spraying.
The loss of lamb, even temporarily, is important for cowboys. He opened the year with back-to-back 100-yard receiving games before leaving Sunday’s competition.
Lamb has dealt with injuries before, only three matches are missing in his Dalla’s career. He was sidelined by a concussion in 2021 and a shoulder injury in 2024, which cost him two games.
“It changes quite a bit,” Jones said of the offense without lamb. “When you’re able to have both out there, it’s a big plus. Certainly, pickens can do a good job for us in the role.”

Cowboys will rely on George Pickens showing visible frustration during the Bears loss, as well as the tight end Jake Ferguson and receiving Kavontae Turpin and Jalen Tolbert to help fill the void.
