FRISCO, Texas — Three games into the season, the Dallas Cowboys are down three starters on offense for multiple weeks.
Pro Bowl wide receiver CeeDee Lamb could miss three to four weeks with a left high ankle sprain suffered in Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears, and rookie right guard Tyler Booker, the Cowboys’ first-round pick, is looking at a four-to-six-week absence due to a high ankle sprain, a source told ESPN.
Owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Monday that both players will miss “games” and said injured reserve is a consideration.

The Cowboys lost center Cooper Beebe in Week 2 with a broken bone in his right foot that landed him on injured reserve. It is not the way Jones wanted to go into Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers.
“We’re early in the season and you look, I mean I really would say that we got enough here to get this done,” Jones said. “We got enough. We really do. But it is frustrating just not just for this game but the fact that you’re looking at potentially games. That’s frustrating. We’re going to have players back though that are coming … But yeah, that’s a setback for us. Lamb, of course, is a real serious loss for us.”
If Lamb and Booker are placed on injured reserve, they would miss at least the next four games. It’s not clear when Booker was hurt since he played all 74 offensive snaps Sunday.

Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer did not put a timetable on Lamb’s return.
“He’ll miss some time, but CeeDee is a guy who heals quickly,…
