The Dallas Cowboys got mauled by the Chicago Bears on Sunday, an embarrassing defeat that breeds a lot of doubt moving forward. The Cowboys defense is epically bad right now. They can’t cover, and they can’t rush the passer.
That means all the pressure is on the offense to run up the score. The Cowboys were handicapped in that area when CeeDee Lamb’s ankle got rolled up when he was a temporary running back on a play. Lamb got re-taped and tried to give it a go, but after one play he knew his day was over. Turns out it was over for the whole team.
An update after the game is that Lamb may have dodged a serious injury. At least that is the spin Jerry Jones gave it in an update after the game.
No timeline yet, and the ‘keep fingers crossed’ comment likely means wait on the MRI. We saw the ankle on TV, it was ugly, but maybe the Cowboys star receiver won’t miss too much time.
[UPDATE]: From ESPN
Lamb said after the game his ankle is all right and that he “absolutely” feels like he can play next week against the Green Bay Packers.
