Report: Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb has sprained AC joint, has chance to play on Sunday

The Dallas Cowboys suffered an enormous loss on Monday afternoon when it was announced that quarterback Dak Prescott is set to miss multiple weeks with a hamstring injury. Coming back from a 3-5 start to the season was suddenly made more difficult.

Shortly after the Prescott news came out, word spread about the status of his top target in wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. Like Prescott, Lamb was injured during Sunday’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Ultimately Lamb finished the game and did his best to help the team, and on Monday it was revealed that he did so through a sprained AC joint.

Adam Schefter notes here that Lamb still has a chance to play on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, but with the season slipping away you have to wonder whether or not that makes the most sense for the long-term interests of this team.

Time will tell what the Cowboys do here. They are up a proverbial creek.
