No way. I dont care what he says. He might have a high ankle sprain and is getting an mri tomorrow.

WR CeeDee Lamb, DAL (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter DirtyCashDylan
- Start date
The fact he wasn't helped off, wasn't carted off, and tried to return to the game, suggests its not gonna be too long an absence. I'd put the over/under on week 5.

Players get a MRI almost every time they get hurt and can't return. It doesn't mean anything until they announce the results.

This is why I rarely draft Dallas Cowboys in fantasy - insult to injury.
It really didn't look that severe and I was surprised he was out the entire game. I remember listening to Tom Brady, during the broadcast, act like it wasn't a big deal (like the Cowboys have a surplus of gamebreakers). When Jake Ferguson is seeing 14 targets a game... we have a problem.
Also, not loving the Pickens signing...

I thought it looked awful and I can't believe they put him back in the game. Borderline irresponsible IMO but I assume he passed the locker room tests

DISCLAIMER: I’m not a doctor and I haven’t physically assessed CeeDee. In other words, I dunno jack and am not pretending to.
Watching the replay, it didn’t look like any more than a run-of-the-mill sprained ankle. It was ugly watching his ankle flex out the way it did, but it wasn’t typical of a HAS.
When they did the close up of his swollen ankle, it looked like the bruising was in a pattern that didn’t suggest a HAS. But it was right after the injury, so not really something to hang your hat on.
MRIs are standard. X-rays had to be negative for the trainers to let him try and come back, so def no Lis Franc injury.
Rough ankle spraim, but with the trainers he has and the physical shape he is in, I expect him to at least try and play next week.
EDIT: should’ve looked at updates. Slo-mo replay does show his foot externally rotated while planted, so it could def be a HAS. Some early reports out if DAL are the it IS one.

Most would agree that the day after an injury, or surgery for that matter, is where the full scope of pain and debilitation hits.
Right after an injury you've got endorphins, adrenaline, denial, plus the will to win, not to mention the responsibility to show everyone that despite the size of the $ bag, he's doing everything he can.
I think 3-4 weeks min.

That ankle photo looks AWFUL.
Exactly. If he couldn't play yesterday hes not playing next week.

Well.
I suppose if Bijan can walk away from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXlx85MxasU
...anything's possible no matter how bad the injury mechanism looks.

That's where I'm at too. I would bet against him playing next week, but even then, he could have a grade 1 sprain. I think people sometimes see an injury happen and assume the worst, even if the optics around it say it shouldn't be THAT bad. Lamb came back in, didn't feel right and left again. That sucks, but it also shows that its not a serious injury. He wasn't helped off, he wasn't carted off, hell he didn't even change into street clothes, like someone like Kittle did. He was consistently walking (and jogging) on the sidelines.
Week 5 feels like a very realistic timeline, barring something really out of nowhere.
ETA: Now how effective he'll be, is probably another conversation.

He's also a 26 year old super athlete in just about perfect physical condition with every imaginable resource you could conceive.
His ability to recover from injuries will be superhuman compared to the average person.
If there is no significant damage, there is no reason to think he couldn't be ready next week. Sprained ankles hurt a lot, they are also not necessarily that serious a lot of the time.

When I was younger I stepped off a curb and twisted my ankle so bad I was certain I broke it.
In 2 weeks I was right as rain. Sometimes stuff looks way worse than it turns out to be. Human body is amazing.
I agree he might miss a week. I’ll wait for official reports before I panic. I get Addison back in my Lamb league but might roll out Hunter Henry since it’s TEP.

If it is so bad I'm wondering, why he was walking around on the sideline for the rest of the game? He seemed fine. To walk at least. No limp that I saw. Says absolutely he's playing.
How many times have I been playing basketball and thought the same thing? After sitting for five minutes was back out there hooping.

You’re not the boss of me. I’m quitting today, out of spite.
I was wrong, and I already fessed up. I have a more than oassing familiarity with orthopedic injuries and like to play Dr. House, analyzing how bad an injury looked. It interests me. I out a big, bold disclaimer before my post.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday’s loss to the Bears that makes him unlikely to play Sunday night vs. the Packers, per sources. The Cowboys want to see how Lamb is doing the next 10-14 days before making further determinations about his status.

i would like him to go on four week IR to maximize recovery. nothing more annoying than a player coming back too soon only to re-injure and be out even longer

The guy had 14 targets in the game where CeeDee was almost completely inactive... yeah, I would say Ferguson gets a boost but he won't see the endzone.
I would fade all the Cowboys players because this offense has officially hit rock bottom, if Lamb misses extended time.

High Ankle Sprains are tricky.....you rush back you can easily injure it again and be done for the season.
He will be out 3-4 weeks easy and they get round the clock top of the line treatment. He will not bear any weight on it for at least 2 weeks minimum. I think being he is a world class athlete who is only 26, playing on an NFL team with the very best rehab care available 4 weeks is highly realistic to be out for a high ankle sprain.

Whoever decided to let him play RB needs his *** kicked

Obviously my first thought and I still think I feel this way, but I wonder if a more run heavy game plan benefits Williams a little.

And they'll probably be 1-6, 1-7 at that point too

My Ferguson investments are paying off handsomely in PPR.
He was absolutely the primary beneficiary. Pickens after that.
I can weather the storm in my Lamb league pretty well but it sucks.
Hopefully he comes back in 1-2 - they didn’t IR him, so…

Dallas just doesn't have the defense to grind out games. It's hard to see Javonta Williams producing without any downfield offense.
FWIW, Pickens and Dak seem off. Like zero chemistry... so, hopefully that can improve.
I seriously watch Jerry’s press conferences for comedy at this point. It’s kind of sad, but funny at the same time. I guess if we are lucky we will all be like Jerry as we age.

I'm hoping they place him on IR to circumvent any rushing back and proper healing. At the same time, I have a bad feeling that this may hamper him and derail his entire 2025 campaign.
Not entirely sure if I should trade him away for a buy low candidate like BTJ/RB2, if I can, or hold.

Very on brand for Brian Schottenheimer, taking one of the best WRs in the NFL and making him play running back.

Blaming the coach for the injury is pointless. It could have happened on any play where he was being tackled.
In fact, CeeDee has been highly efficient on them kind of plays in the past but nobody was screaming then. It's a moot point, imo.

Agree here. Dumb to play him at RB and you cant tell me there isnt a difference between RB and WR. Injury could happen anywhere, sure but... we can at least agree that was some dumb *** ****.

How many times has he lined up at rb and taken a handoff in the nfl?
Kwai Chang Caine
Footballguy
5 I believe…
And this is three weeks in a row I’ve had a WR injured first time they touch ball getting zero points on top of it. Not that anyone should care…
What are the odds one gets blown up by his own guy (Worthy) another catches a TD that’s called back and breaks his collarbone and the third takes a handoff as a halfback and gets rolled?
Isn’t fantasy fun?

Same boat with Worthy and Lamb. Also Burrow and Conner for me…off to a great start in that league.

Anyone buying in redraft? I’m 3-0 in PPR. I have Pickens. I’m considering a package of Davante Adams and Kyle Pitts to acquire Lamb.
8 teams make playoffs. I’d just need Cowboys to be relevant.
