Report: Cowboys 1st-round pick out vs. Packers

Guard Tyler Booker will reportedly miss Week 4 action with a high ankle sprain, just like receiver CeeDee Lamb.

Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News is reporting that Dallas Cowboys guard Tyler Booker, who the team took 12th overall in April’s draft, will miss the next four to six weeks with a high ankle sprain. This isn’t the only high ankle sprain that the Cowboys are dealing with, as star receiver CeeDee Lamb also has the same issue and is expected to miss Sunday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers this week.

When Cowboys owner, president and general manager Jerry Jones spoke to the press today, he wouldn’t rule out both players going on the injured reserve, which would cost them at least four games of regular season action.

This is a brutal break for the Cowboys, whose only win this season was an overtime win against the 0-3 New York Giants.

Dallas was already down center Cooper Beebe, who is on the injured reserve for an ankle sprain that included a fracture in his foot. The combination of Ceebe and the addition of Booker was supposed to ease the pain that came with future Hall of Fame guard Zack Martin’s retirement this past offseason. Now, both are injured. On top of that, left tackle Tyler Guton, the team’s 2024 first-round pick, missed a significant portion of training camp with an injury, too.
