The Dallas Cowboys are off to a rough start against the Chicago Bears in Week 3.

Javonte Williams had the ball ripped out of his hands following a huge 22-yard gain, giving the Bears the ball. They then scored in a hurry, with Trevon Diggs being burnt by Rome Odunze for a 35-yard touchdown.

As frustrating as all that was, it was nothing compared to the frustration that kicked off their second drive. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer dialed up a handoff to wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, which resulted in a one-yard loss.

Worse than that, Chicago linebacker Noah Sewell landed on his ankle, and Lamb had to leave the game with a noticeable limp.

Lamb headed to the medical tent and came back out with tape on his ankle. The Cowboys' drive ended with Brandon Aubrey connecting on a 53-yard field goal to cut the lead to 7-3.

If Lamb is unable to get back on the field, it will mean the end of his current four-game streak with at least 100 yards receiving.

UPDATE: Lamb tried to get back on the field but limpd off again after one snap.
