Cowboys Rule CeeDee Lamb Out With Ankle Injury After Brief Return

Dallas has not announced a diagnosis pending imaging.

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.
