UPDATE: The Dallas Cowboys face a critical setback as star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is likely to miss significant playing time due to an ankle injury sustained in their recent loss to the Chicago Bears on September 24, 2025. Fans are anxiously awaiting clarity on the severity of the injury, which may jeopardize Lamb’s participation in upcoming games.
Authorities have not yet confirmed the exact nature of the injury, but renowned sports doctor Dr. Evan Jeffries has provided insight into potential recovery timelines. In a recent post on X, Dr. Jeffries indicated that if Lamb’s injury is a mild sprain, he could be sidelined for 1 to 2 weeks. However, a more serious injury could extend his absence to 4 to 6 weeks.
“CeeDee Lamb left today’s game with possible ‘High ankle sprain.’ Timeline to return is dependent on severity. Grade I: 1-2 weeks. Grade II: 4-6 weeks,”
Dr. Jeffries wrote, raising concerns among the Cowboys’ faithful.
This news comes at a critical moment as the Cowboys gear up to face the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football next week. Lamb, who has been a pivotal player for the Dallas offense, is expected to play a significant role against tough opponents. Losing him for any period would severely challenge the Cowboys’ chances of victory.
Through the first three weeks of the season, the 26-year-old has recorded 16 receptions for 222 yards, although he did not register any statistics in the Week 3 game against the Bears. Last season, he had an impressive performance with 101 catches for 1,194 yards and six touchdowns. In 2023, he achieved 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns, solidifying his status as one of the NFL’s elite wide receivers.
As the Cowboys prepare for their challenging matchup against the Packers, the urgency surrounding Lamb’s recovery intensifies. Fans and teammates alike are hopeful for a positive update soon, as the team braces for what could be a tough road ahead without their star player.
