Overview
- Lamb’s left ankle was rolled under on a designed handoff as Bears linebacker Noah Sewell made the tackle on a play later wiped out by offsetting penalties.
- He was initially listed as questionable, returned for a single snap to start the second quarter, then left again and was ruled out for the rest of the game.
- Broadcast shots showed notable swelling, and preliminary video-based medical commentary suggested a possible high-ankle sprain with any timetable awaiting exams.
- With their top receiver sidelined, Dak Prescott leaned more on George Pickens and tight end Jake Ferguson to carry the passing game.
- Dallas lost 31-14 to Chicago, prompting criticism of the decision to line up Lamb in the backfield on the play that led to the injury.
