The Dallas Cowboys lost more than the game in Sunday’s 31-14 loss to the Bears in Chicago.

During the humiliating defeat at Soldier Field, Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb went down with an ankle injury. After a brief attempt to return to the game, he left for good, and now, we hear from the boss man himself that it might be a minute before we see him again.

After the game, Lamb apparently didn’t feel too horrible, implying that he stayed out of the game for precautionary reasons.

“This was one of those protect-me-from-myself type of deals,” Lamb said, via Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

But his confidence might’ve been premature.

Late Monday, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones told reporters that the ankle injury might be worse than initially thought, as reported by Adam Schefter.

Jerry Jones told reporters that CeeDee Lamb’s ankle injury could land him on injured reserve.
