Cowboys’ Updated Offensive Depth Chart amid CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Booker Injuries

The Dallas Cowboys are going to be shorthanded going into their highly anticipated Week 4 game against the Green Bay Packers.

ESPN’s Todd Archer reported Monday offensive guard Tyler Booker will miss four-to-six weeks after he suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears. He pointed out the offensive line is already without center Cooper Beebe for at least three more games.

What’s more, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported wide receiver CeeDee Lamb suffered a high ankle sprain as well and likely won’t take the field against Green Bay. Schefter wrote that “the Cowboys want to see how Lamb is doing the next 10-14 days before making further determinations about his status.”

Team owner Jerry Jones provided an update on the outlook for both players:

Here is a look at the updated offensive depth chart with so many injury concerns looming:

Lamb suffered his injury in the first half against the Bears, and the offense struggled to build any type of consistency without him on the field.

While Chicago gave up 52 points against the Detroit Lions the previous week, it held Dallas to a mere 14 points and picked off Dak Prescott twice. It also intercepted Joe Milton III after the backup entered the game in the fourth quarter.

The Cowboys offense looked nothing like the unit that put up 40 points in its Week 2 win over the New York Giants.

Things only figure to get more difficult against the Packers. The shorthanded offensive line will be tasked with blocking Micah Parsons, who will be firmly under the spotlight in the matchup against his former team following the headline offseason trade.

Green Bay gave up just 13 points to the same Lions team that destroyed the Bears and is yet to allow more than 18 points in a single contest.

It appears to be one of the best defenses in the league in the early going this season, and Prescott will have his hands full without his top weapon in the receiver room and with some of his offensive line missing.

If the Cowboys lose again, they will be 1-3 and facing an uphill battle to get back into the postseason picture in the NFC.
