Dallas Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb and Tyler Booker get positive injury updates image

The Dallas Cowboys offered a pair of positive injury updates on wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and right guard Tyler Booker.

Both players suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 3 loss to the Chicago Bears and are expected to miss multiple weeks with their ailments. Their first missed contest came in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers.

However, the good news is, both players are expected to avoid injured reserve, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said. Adding to that, Booker has shed his walking boot.

Lamb was spotted utilizing a boot on Sunday night, so it would appear he has yet to shed his. The fact that Booker is out of his boot suggests he could be on a bit faster return track than the star wide receiver.

Initial estimates had Booker missing four to six weeks, while Lamb was estimated to be sidelined for three to four. The fact that neither one is expected to be placed on IR means the Cowboys expect them back by the fourth week, at the latest.

That is certainly positive news for a Cowboys team that has so little margin for error moving forward.

In Lamb's absence on Sunday night, George Pickens stepped up in a big way with eight catches for 134 yards and two touchdowns. Dallas will need him to keep producing like that if they're going to get by without Lamb.
