Blogging The Boys
The injuries for the Dallas Cowboys have taken a turn for the worse. On Monday, it was reported that wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will be sidelined for up to four weeks due to a high ankle sprain he sustained during Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears. Lamb won’t be the only one rehabbing a high ankle sprain.
Along with Cooper Beebe, who suffered his own ankle injury after Week 2, rookie right guard Tyler Booker is expected to miss four to six weeks with the same injury as Lamb.
This is not an ideal situation for the Cowboys’ offense, which is trying to get back on track after a rough outing this weekend in which they scored just 14 points, the lowest total of the season.
Booker has performed well to start the season and has been praised for his run blocking and pass protection. Now Brian Schottenheimer will be forced to go with a backup offensive lineman for the second week in a row. Brock Hoffman has taken over at center for Beebe, which means it could be T.J. Bass that will now fill in for Booker.
To compound things even more, Dallas is welcoming Micah Parsons and the Green Bay Packers to AT&T Stadium on Sunday night. Parsons is currently second in the league among defenders with 19 per NFL Pro.
An offensive line that looked to be a strength of the Cowboys’ offense after Week 1 has turned into a five-alarm fire, with no reinforcements coming soon.
