he Dallas Cowboys are third place in the NFC East with a 2-1-2 record, and while they’d certainly like that record to be better, it’s pretty darn good considering that they’ve been without star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. Of course,
Lamb suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 3 on Sunday, September 21, during the team’s matchup against the Chicago Bears. As for the injury, he was running the ball and got tackled pretty awkwardly, and from there, he twisted his ankle. Lamb has been out ever since, so it’s been a struggle for the team.
At this point, the Dallas Cowboys are waiting with baited breath for Lamb to be healthy enough to be back on the field, but one can’t rush an injury being healed. Thankfully, the team got some fantastic news on Wednesday, October 8, about Lamb and how he’s doing in rehab. The progress shows that the Cowboys might not have to wait too much longer to see Lamb back in action, which is great news for both Dallas and every fantasy team that has Lamb on their roster.
Lamb didn’t show much, if any, progress last week and didn’t even practice, which was not a good sign. But, things are looking up. On Wednesday, as Lamb was seen outside doing some rehab exercises on a side field. This marks the first time that Lamb has been seen outside since his injury.
“Tyler Guyton (concussion) and Tyler Smith (knee) on the practice field Wednesday,” ESPN’s Todd Archer reported in a post on X. “Tyler Booker and CeeDee Lamb going through rehab for high ankle sprains. Positive injury news. But KaVontae Turpin and Donovan Wilson not practicing. Miles Sanders walked to locker room early.”
On top of that, Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News also said that Lamb was using “resistance cords” during the session and said that he would need “maybe one more week.”
While this is all good news, there still isn’t a definite date that Lamb will be back. At first, he was given a three-to-four week timeline, and he’s only been out two games, so time will tell if he’s back in the next few weeks for needs more time. But, things appear to be moving in the right direction.
For more hopeful news, Tommy Yarrish of DallasCowboys.com reported on Monday, October 6, sourcing Stephen Jones of 105.3 The Fan, that “CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Booker, Tyler Smith, Tyler Guyton and KaVontae Turpin are in a group that is possible to be back in the next two weeks.”
Switching gears to quarterback Dak Prescott, he’s named the No. 9 quarterback in the NFL going into Week 6 by USA Today’s Jack McKessy.
“The Cowboys have leaned on Prescott’s arm all season, and he leads the league with 195 pass attempts,” McKessy says. “His 237-yard, four-touchdown day helped lead Dallas to a drubbing of the Jets and pushed him into the top 10 for the first time this year.”
Prescott is a hard-working quarterback, and it’s great that he’s finally getting named one of the top 10 in the league.
