Doctor Gives A Timetable For CeeDee Lamb's Return Timeline Following $14,491 Fine

CeeDee Lamb may face an extended absence following an ankle injury sustained during the Cowboys’ surprising Week 3 defeat against the Chicago Bears. The incident occurred during the first quarter when he experienced a loss on a handoff, leading to an apparent ankle twist. Preliminary assessments suggest a potential high-ankle sprain; however, the exact severity remains undetermined. Should it only be a grade one tear, recovery might take one to two weeks. Conversely, a grade-two tear would extend his sidelining to a minimum of four to six weeks. The uncertainty looms overhead for the Cowboys until Lamb undergoes an MRI on Monday morning.Dr. Evan Jeffries noted that Lamb’s possible diagnosis indicates a less severe issue, which could allow for a quicker return, given his youth and history. With Lamb’s initial impact this season averaging 222 receiving yards from 16 catches, his absence would significantly challenge the Cowboys’ offense.
