Overview

• CeeDee Lamb has a confirmed high‑ankle sprain and the team expects roughly a month without him, according to owner Jerry Jones.
• Dallas is not expected to place Lamb on injured reserve, preserving the possibility of an earlier return, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
• The Cowboys elevated practice‑squad receiver Jalen Cropper for Week 4 vs. the Packers; he has one prior NFL game and no recorded regular‑season stats.
• Targets are set to shift toward George Pickens and tight end Jake Ferguson, with Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin also projected for increased roles.
• Coach Brian Schottenheimer said cornerback DaRon Bland is expected back soon and Trevon Diggs has played through a shoulder issue as Dallas tries to steady a 1‑2 start following the Micah Parsons trade.
