The Dallas Cowboys' offense has been playing at an elite level, despite absences from key playmakers like CeeDee Lamb and KaVontae Turpin in recent weeks.

Lamb has been out of action since suffering a high-ankle sprain just seven snaps into the team's Week 3 loss to the Chicago Bears.

In Lamb's absence, George Pickens has stepped up in a big way, but there is some exciting news for Cowboys Nation with Stephen Jones opening the door for a potential Lamb return in Week 7 against the division rival Washington Commanders.

Lamb and Pickens have both shown they can be clear-cut No. 1 wide receivers, and fans have been clamoring for the two pass catchers to get back on the field together.

Jones appeared on 105.3 The Fan on Monday afternoon and revealed Lamb "has a chance" to play on Sunday afternoon.

As a bonus, Jones included Turpin and first-round pick Tyler Booker as players who could also return to action against the Commanders.

If the Cowboys can return to full strength on offense, let's hope the defense can find a way to keep up. With the way Dallas' defense has been performing, the offense has to be near perfect to have a chance to win. Lamb will certainly help.
