Week 9 proved to be a monumental disaster for the Dallas Cowboys.
The team not only faced its third consecutive defeat, but star quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb—who both signed major contracts before the season—sustained injuries.
Prescott is anticipated to be sidelined for several weeks due to a hamstring injury, while details about Lamb’s injury have emerged.
As reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Lamb has a sprained AC joint.
The silver lining is that the injury is not thought to be severe, and he may still be able to play in Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
“Though Lamb’s shoulder is sore, the injury is not considered serious and he is expected to have a chance to play Sunday vs. the Eagles,” Schefter stated on X.
This season, Lamb is tied for fifth in the NFL with 53 receptions and ranks fourth with 660 receiving yards, having scored four touchdowns.
On the ground, he has carried the ball 10 times for 52 yards.
Lamb has been the most productive skill player for the Cowboys this season, so his absence would be a significant setback for the team, especially with Prescott out.
As the week progresses, Cowboys Nation can only hope for the best.

Michael Irvin outlines how the Dallas Cowboys can turn their season around
Dallas Cowboys legend Michael Irvin shared his thoughts on the team’s struggles during a conversation with TMZ Sports on Thursday. The Cowboys, currently at 3-4 and in third place in the NFC East, have lost four of their last six games. They are facing challenges in stopping the run due to numerous defensive injuries and have had ongoing issues with scoring.
“It looks bad right now and the only hope Cowboys really have right now is if some kind of move is made at the trade deadline. I don’t know, you’re certainly not gonna do it staying pat like they are right now,” Irvin stated.
Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is unlikely to make any trades before the NFL trade deadline at 3 p.m. on November 5.
Irvin suggested that if the situation doesn’t improve, the team might need to rethink their leadership, particularly regarding head coach Mike McCarthy. “I just left Dallas, trust me, the morale is bad everyone is hurting,” he said. “If you continue to lose then something is going to have to happen so there’s never, it’s ok, losing in the NFL, the toughest most pressurized job in this country… bar none if you don’t win yo [expletive] gone.”
The Cowboys aim to regain their momentum when they face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, November 3, at noon at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
