Cowboys’ CeeDee Lamb Ruled Out With Ankle Injury in Loss to Bears

Team assessments suggest he could play in Week 4 pending imaging to clarify a possible high-ankle sprain.

Overview

  • Lamb injured his left ankle in the first quarter when Bears linebacker Noah Sewell rolled onto it during a play that was wiped out by offsetting penalties.
  • He briefly returned for one snap at the start of the second quarter before exiting again and was later ruled out for the rest of the game.
  • Postgame, Lamb said he "absolutely" feels he can play next week, and Jerry Jones relayed that team doctors felt the injury was not as serious as it could have been.
  • Sports doctor Deepak Chona, reviewing video, said the mechanism appears consistent with a high-ankle sprain, noting mild cases average about two weeks but stressing severity depends on further testing.
  • Dallas fell 31-14 to Chicago to drop to 1-2, with George Pickens scoring a touchdown as broadcast images showed notable swelling in Lamb’s ankle.
